	* rtems_servers/ftpd.c, rtems_servers/ftpd.h: Major enhancements
	as listed below:
	    - use pool of pre-created threads to handle sessions instead of
  	      creating/deleting threads on the fly
	    - LIST output is now similar to what "/bin/ls -al" would output,
	      thus FTP clients such Netscape are happy with it.
	    - LIST NAME now works (both for files and directories)
	    - added support for NLST, CDUP, and MDTM FTP commands to make
	      more FTP clients happy
	    - keep track of CWD for every session separately
	    - ability to specify root directory name for FTPD in configuration
	      table. FTPD will then create illusion for FTP clients that this
	      is actually root directory.
	    - ignore options sent in commands, thus LIST -al FILE works and
	      doesn't try to list "-al" directory.
	    - buffers are allocated on stack instead of heap where possible to
	      eliminate malloc/free calls (avoid possible heap fragmentation
	      troubles).
	    - drop using of task notepad to pass parameters - use function
	      arguments instead
	    - use snprintf() instead of sprintf() as the latter is unsafe
	    - use of PF_INET in socket() instead of AF_INET

	    Here are ftp clients I've tried new FTPD with (all of them
	    running on Debian GNU/Linux 2.2):

	         Lftp 2.1.10
	         NcFTP 2.4.3
	         Netscape 4.75
	         ftp
	         mc 4.5.49
