Report on package efs 1.5

Now that I've gotten over this little problem I've been having, I'll be a
much happier human being.  The problem is that I've always used a '/@site:'
syntax for anonymous access under ange-ftp.  That worked fine, so I never
knew that the extra @ was extraneous.  Under efs, I get a stringp error when
efs tries to parse the null string between the leading slash and the @ sign.

It might be legitimate to call this an error, but efs should probably catch
it and be polite about it instead of generating a (possibly confusing to
newbies) stringp error.  And as long as your catching it, you might as well
call it anonymous.  I'd give you patches, but it seems unlikely that I'd be
worth my time to grok the huge source for such a trivial change.
