I'm not sure we're motivated enough to roll specific package .ZIPs for
every little thing. It's just too tedious.

I never heard this. What were his reasons? Google Code disappearing? Still
moving house? Too tired?
Honestly, maybe he figured there wasn't much else to do with it. Maybe he
considers it stable enough.
However, just for completeness, I had a few ideas for improvements
recently, mostly regarding FTP.EXE:
1). ignorecase
It's frustrating to have a transfer (esp. batch from redirected script)
fail because the filename case doesn't match. I realize this might be
inefficient, but we only need to retry if the original transfer fails.
2). truncatename
It's also frustrating when grabbing a file because you have to "get
someLONGname.zip somename.zip" else it won't write/save correctly with
SFNs. With "mget some*", you can't even do that much, which can be even
more tedious.
3). While I'm at it, I should mention that I prefer downloading a file
directly, non-interactively, if at all possible. Obviously there are other
(bloated) tools that can grab from FTP directly (e.g. Wget or Curl), but it
would be nice to (optionally) "fetch" a file, e.g. "ftp fetch
ftp.ibiblio.org/pub/micro/pc-stuff/freedos/files/devel/asm/fasm/fas17122.zip"
(or whatever).
