comparing statically-linked binaries:

wu-ftpd is 81% larger on disk, and 80% larger in terms of total 'size'
than the stock ftpd, *NOT COUNTING SUPPORT PROGRAMS OR FILES.

since i statically link most 'random' binaries i install, i can't
compare sizes when dynamically linked, but wu-ftpd is sure to be much
bigger and:
	(1) 99% of users do *NOT* need the extended functionality
	(2) 99% of users would not want to deal with the configuration
		hassles
	(3) recently, serious security bugs seem to crop up more in
		wu-ftpd than *SENDMAIL*.

That is:
It may be nice, but it's not very necessary, and it's not a hard
'port' at all.
