I've fixed the problem, but ftp.netbsd.org is down at the moment.  For
now, take at look at:

	ftp.au.netbsd.org:/pub/simonb/NetBSD

I'll remove those as soon as ftp.netbsd.org comes online (modulo
sleep :-).

As far as the problem itself - the single quotes around the ftp URL
shouldn't be there.  For NetBSD's ftp client, the ftp:// type URLs are
perfectly valid.

This doesn't actually cause a problem in practice.  The fix is
relatively simple (if the pathname component starts with a `/',
then skip it), but I haven't got a chance to do it yet.  Please
send a PR!
