Kevin's wget-based implementation worked (thanks again, Kevin!), but
was slow due to repeated invocations of wget. I looked at the code to
see if I could do something about that... and that awoke the coding
bug in me. End result is implemented in terms of Perl Net::FTP and
needs no external programs. It may even be cross-platform, although I
haven't tried it anywhere but *nix yet. It's still very susceptible
to differences in FTP directory format. I've confirmed a Microsoft
FTP server will cause it to choke horribly. :)
