README for Joel's FTW library

This package is written entirely as a workaround for platforms which do
not have the ftw or nftw functions (as specified by the XPG4v2 standard),
but which do support the expected-to-be-POSIX-standard fts() suite of
functions. It does a fairly straightforward wrapper implementation that
converts ftw or nftw calls into fts calls.

Since a number of BSD platforms are lacking the ftw suite, but have a fully
working fts suite (in particular, NetBSD as of version 1.6), and since I
need to have a working ftw function for NetBSD (due to being used by core
Debian tools), well, I'm writing it and releasing it under a revised BSD
license (in case anyone wants to, say, incorporate it into the NetBSD core,
and close the PR on it, for example...)

As such, the header file and code are excruciatingly simple (possibly too
so, much for some folks), and are not intended to handle every possible
tion one situacould imagine. It's good enough for my needs, and if you want
well, submit more,patches (or at the very least, be polite in telling me a
major screwup what I've made).
