Subject: [PATCH] ftp.rb - mget, mput, VERSION, rdoc

Hi all,

The diff below adds the mget and mput methods, a VERSION constant and 
some additional rdoc for ACCT, MDTM, and mtime.  With this patch you can 
do stuff like this:

FTP.open(host){ |ftp|
   ftp.login(user, pass)
   ftp.mput(Dir["*.rb"])
}

I've been a few situations recently where this would be handy. :)

Regards,

Dan
