Subject: ftp & multi-hop?

Hi all,

I would like to connect to an ftp server in two hops.  One over `sshx'
to a server behind a firewall, and thence via ftp to a second server
inside that firewall.  Now I understand that 'ftp isn't a member of
`tramp-multi-connection-function-alist', so this isn't supported
out-of-the-box.

My question is: how feasible would it be to add it?  I added sshx with
no troubles.  I then tried ftp with no luck.  A quick look at the
source indicates that tramp delegates all ftp work to ange-ftp.
Before I run down a rabbit hole, is this going to present a problem if
I want to use ftp as a hop in a multi-hop method?

Thanks,
