The gnupload script (which is in gnulib) depends on ncftpput. I found
it easier to write a replacement using plain old command line ftp than
to install ncftp.
Any objections to my putting this in gnulib/build-aux?
I know it doesn't have all the bells and whistles it should, but hey, this is a
tertiary thing only interesting for GNU maintainers ...

# This is a minimal replacement for ncftpput using standard ftp.
# It was written for use with the Automake gnupload script for machines
# without ncftpput, e.g., rename it to ncftpput and put it in your PATH.
#
# The arguments are:
# host dir file1 file2 ...
host=$1; shift
dir=$1; shift
