I should explain what I meant more. 'simtelnet-path' is the sub-directory
of the DJGPP archive in which the zip file is stored. I was going to code
zippo with a list of Simtelnet archives for FTP download. The user could
then select the nearest/fastest/most recent FTP mirror and download the
package from there, i.e. using:
<FTP mirror>/<simtelnet-path>/<zip>
BTW I think we require two new entries in addition to web-site & ftp-site:
ftp-url: [URL]
http-url: [URL]
These would specify where the zip could be downloaded from, in addition to
the Simtelnet archives.
I think I may borrow the FTP/HTTP code from GNU wget. zippo will be GPL'd.

Agreed. This will default to DOS if nothing else is specified. So, for the
Unix packages, one could do:
host-os: != dos
or host-os: dos >= 5
