Libcurl has wider capabilities than those assigned to it by Dracut.
In this patch to url-lib I've added registration for TFTP URLs,
which I've found to be useful.
Enjoy,

Basically, s390 is the only place I've ever seen TERM=dumb, and it's too
dumb to handle '\r', so --progress-bar produces waaaaay too much output.
The normal progress meter only prints something once per second, so
that's reasonable on terminals where '\r' doesn't work.

Every time url-lib gets imported we end up making the list of handlers
longer with redundant entries. That's silly - we shouldn't add items
that already exist.
Note that this means you'll have to manipulate the handler list yourself
if you want to change the position/priority of existing handlers.
For curl_fetch_url (http/https/ftp):
- use --progress-bar (the output is less messy)
- print the URL we're fetching so the user know's what's happening
For curl and nfs:
- don't echo the filename if it was provided by the user
If you do "fetch_url $url/.somefile", fetch_url would return failure,
because "$outdir/*" wouldn't match the file.
Use ls -A (which busybox ls supports) to actually find possible dotfiles
in the created output dir.

This adds nfs_fetch_url to allow fetching arbitrary files from NFS.
This means that livenet can now run using an NFS-mounted live image,
which reduces memory usage by a lot.

url-lib adds some functions for dealing with URLs (mostly for fetching
files, for the moment).
It uses curl to handle http/https/ftp URLs, but it can be extended by other
modules at runtime by using the "add_url_handler" function.
