Well, the reason for planing to have ftp in the first release was mainly
to be able distribute modules that way. So the first thing to implement
would be GET. Sure PUT is not so neccesery at a erli stage, and cd we wont
be needing at all, since the relative URL parsing mechanism will alwas
give us absolute paths.

Some sort of installation instruction will be needed yes, but for the
first release they do not have to be that comprehensive...

It would be bettir if we could be certan the compiler would optimie away
all the viod function calls and all the string constants, and I'm not so
serten that we can asume that for all compilers...
