 Hi,
 
 Revision 1.57 of  pkgsrc/mk/fetch/fetch.mk broke fetching of x11/rxvt-unicode:
 
 Trying 2001:470:987b::a00:13:80 ...
 Requesting http://dist.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/rxvt-unicode-9.16.tar.bz2
 ftp: Error retrieving file `500 Internal Server Error'
 fetch: Unable to fetch expected file rxvt-unicode-9.16.tar.bz2
 Trying 2001:470:987b::a00:13:80 ...
 Requesting http://dist.schmorp.de/rxvt-unicode/Attic/rxvt-unicode-9.16.tar.bz2
 ftp: Error retrieving file `500 Internal Server Error'
 fetch: Unable to fetch expected file rxvt-unicode-9.16.tar.bz2
 
 It looks like webserver doesn't like empty User-Agent. I just allowed to 
overwrite FTPUSERAGENT to unbreak it.
 As FTPUSERAGENT is usually not set, it is working for both cases.
 
 I've checked user test case with default User-Agent of our ftp and it worked 
without problem:
 
 # env FTPUSERAGENT="NetBSD-ftp/20100605" make fetch

 Why this variable was cleaned in first place?
