Summary: Suggested new queue behaviour

Initial Comment:
Basically, the suggestion is to model the queue
behaviour with regard to directories after Bullet Proof
FTP (IMHO the best windows ftp client available to
date)
I've always found it's treatment of the queue most
logical and I would very much like to see similar
behaviour implemented in Deadftp.

Basically, the following changes are suggested:
- When downloading a directory, the directory with the
same name is created on the local filesystem. (eg: if
downloading /pub/pants/ a directory called "pants" is
created in the current directory and all the files are
placed in it as opposed to just dumping everything to
the current directory)
- When you enqueue a directory it is not expanded on
enqueue
- When downloading, if the top entry in the queue is a
directory, it is created localy, and all the files in
it are reenqued (in the front or the back depending on
preferences) with local path pointing to the newly
created directory.
- If an overwrite/resume/rename issue comes up, show a
dialog with a timeout (aka after n seconds it goes to
the default option), defaulting to a user selectable
(in preferences) option depending on the local and
remote file sizes and dates.

I very much hope that you will take this suggestion
under consideration. I think that at least the first
point deserves some imediate attention. 

Thank you.

PS. I am willing to help out with implementing this
feature (even though I am more familiar with GTKmm/C++,
than GTK+/C). Let me know if there's anything you would
like me to do.
