DNSSEC Validation for lftp
==========================
This patch adds local DNSSEC validation to lftp, along with an option to
enable it. The is code is only compiled if the configure option
--dnssec-local-validation is specified. The libraries libval and libsres
from DNSSEC-Tools are prequisites. Additional options may be needed
to point configure at the correct directory for these libraries.

When compiled in, the option is still off by default. The new boolean
option 'dns:strict-dns' must be enabled by the user.

Once strict DNSSEC checking is enabled, DNSSEC validation is done according
to the configuration in the DNSSEC-tool configuration file dnsval.conf.
Please refer to the DNSSEC-Tools documentation for more information.

	http://www.dnssec-tools.org/

This patch has been tested with lftp 4.0.2 and DNSSEC-Tools 1.6.


Testing
=======
To verify that the patch is working, you first need to configure dnsval.conf
to require validation for a domain that is not signed. For example:

    : zone-security-expectation
                # ignore validation by default
                . ignore

                # require that dnssec-tools.org validates (it should)
                dnssec-tools.org validate

                # require that cobham.com validates (it wont)
                sparta.com validate
    ;


Next, simpy run lftp with a few domain. This configuration does not require
validation for any domains except dnssec-tools.org and cobham.com. So:

  $ lftp mirrors.kernel.org
  lftp mirrors.kernel.org:~> 

  $ lftp dnssec-tools.org
  lftp dnssec-tools.org:~>

  $ lftp sparta.com
  lftp: sparta.com: DNS resoloution not trusted.
