It is -very- easy to configure at least one free FTP daemon to run bsc on a
plain file if the user asks for "file.bsc" but only "file" is available. It
already does this with "file.Z" and "file", and it's a matter of adding a
line to the conversions configuration file.

bsc would have to be modified to act as a standard in --> standard out filter,
but that's easy enough, and in the worst case, the binscii files could be
built in /tmp and transfered out.

I can do this.
