    bootstrap.sh: Use ftp instead of wget on the BSDs
    
    NetBSD, MirBSD, OpenBSD and DragonFly BSD's base systems ship
    ftp(1) (which supports HTTP[S]), but not wget.
    
    On FreeBSD, the version of ftp(1) seems to lag behind the
    upstream NetBSD version, and doesn't support HTTPS (only HTTP).
    So there, we keep using fetch(1).
