Couldn't we handle this with a FilterIterator or some other adapter on
the iterator from an FTPFileList? I never thought of this when the
version patch was submitted, but it seems like a possible solution.
Better than supporting multiple ways of parsing the list.
Of course it wouldn't help for the methods that return an array, but
the user could sort that out also, converting the array to a list and
using the FilterIterator.
