T. Joseph Carter 8b5149fe52 Interim refactoring of comm tools complete
Like with archive tools before it, comm tools have been split out of
ivan.sh now to someplace we can hopefully work on them.  Unlike the
archive tools, however, this was not a simple copy out the code block
and patch the script to run independently of the big script.  Here's
what was done:

ADDED

 - lftp, a powerful ftp client, command-line based but much more
   friendly than standard ftp because it operates in binary mode by
   default, has bookmarks, can handle ftp:// URLs, has useful batching
   and mirroring commands, and can directly read things like readme
   files on the server in the client.  Also tab completion.
 - mc, Midnight Commander, a full-screen file manager reminiscent of
   Norton Commander.  This isn't a comm tool per se, but it's well loved
   by a lot of people and it can connect to ftp clients and access them
   the same way you would any other directory in mc.

CHANGED

 - For oysttyer, we no longer use a locally-installed perl readline
   module.  Debian packages this, so we'll use this.  That means we no
   longer need/want the locally installed version, so we try to clean up
   after ourselves.
 - Rewrote the oysttyer installation process to be hopefully more
   robust overall.

REMOVED
 - cftp.  This program is barely alpha-quality proof of concept.  It's
   buggy, it's unreliable, it's undocumented, and it is of no use when
   it crashes (and it will) and leaves your terminal in a broken state
   you don't know how to fix.  There's nothing "comfortable" about that,
   even for new users.  If you need your ftp client to work with arrow
   keys, I recommend connecting to your ftp server with lynx.  Like most
   web browsers predating OS-integration, it includes a decent-enough
   (non-persistent-connection) ftp client which generates a very basic
   directory listing webpage for you.  It works; cftp doesn't.
