ftpget and symlinks

For people who (like me) prefer to see symlinks, I have a trivial patch that
makes them visible:

                    ename,

This basically prevents ftpget from cutting off the " -> <destination>"
part of a symlink and uses the destination in the anchor (this last part
implies that caching might work a little bit better, while it might cause some
symlinks to fail because the "../../" processing is then done done in the
browser).
