Given, that ftp access to remote servers has not the importance any
longer as in the past, I fear that the Emacs maintainers are not too
enthusiastic writing such an ange-ftp backend. Neither for DOS format
nor for MLSD format (but the latter could attract a little bit more).
Patches from somebody else are welcome, of course.
