Hello,

I just learned that ftp://ftp.gnu.org will be retired on Nov. 1st, 2017,
so we=E2=80=99ll have to implement a replacement for the =E2=80=98gnu=E2=80=
=99 updater at least.

At worst, we=E2=80=99ll parse HTML index files like the one at
<https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/guile/>, but I=E2=80=99m trying to see if the FSF
sysadmin could generate an =E2=80=98ls-lR=E2=80=99 file or similar.

Ludo=E2=80=99.
