Alas, it also seems to have a "default" ftp site. I don't think
that's a good idea (remember CHANGE_THIS.freebsd.org :). An
environment variable would do just as well, except... this is the
kind of tool like to be used by clueless users, which are the ones
most likely to really want a default site.
