I'm not sure which I prefer now :) I think it's good if /usr/pkg/bin/ftp is capable of all that a user might expect of it. https is normal now, so it should support that. We are talking about a number of platforms, not just NetBSD. So while using mk/readline.builtin.mk is a big improvement, I suspect that it will result in pulling in readline on some platforms. So in tnftp_basic, that needs to be removed as well.
