mirroring of all that stuff should be migrated to rsync(1), since this
implicitly defines (in terms of standard archive'/distribution handling)
a structured "package" like layout, so we would have several collections
(freebsd-ftp/ freebsd-www/ freebsd-crypto-US/ freebsd-crypto-nonUS/ and
so on...)
thus, it would be easier to set up a mirror, the paths would be more
standard, the updates would be better in sync (since rsync really does a
good job in not just only checking if a file has a new datestamp) and
the world would be a bit better ;-)
