libcurl currently doesn't support this. It can only deal with one set of
user+password for an FTP URL, and there's no particula support for FTP
proxies.

I believe the best thing to do would be to add ftp-proxy support. We got a
really nice list of different ftp-proxy approaches a couple of weeks ago.

Anyone up to this?
