You can also copy all files in this directory by rsync,

rsync -azH --safe-links --delete ftp.ocs.com.au::ftp/pub/modutils/v2.3/ local-directory

If you are currently mirroring modutils and/or ksymoops via ftp, rsync
is faster.

Brief changelog.

More flexible recognition of the way the utility was called.
Add option to strip binaries during install.
Rework --enable-combined configure options.
Change --enable-combined-sparc to --enable-common-sparc.
Reduce ambiguity when an alias and a module have the same name[1].
Rework common sparc code.

[1] This fixes the bug where

alias sound sb
options sb io=0x300

would apply the io parm to the sound module and fail.  Using the same
name for a real module and an alias is not generally recommended, but
we are stuck with it for backwards compatibility on sound.
