If we use sftp, we shouldn't need to "create" an SF shell; something
like (currently untested):

  FRS_CATALOGUE = $(FRS_CATALOGUE_HOST):$(FRS_CATALOGUE_PATH)

  FRS_CATALOGUE_HOST = frs.sourceforge.net
  FRS_CATALOGUE_PATH = /home/frs/project/mingw/$(FRS_CATALOGUE_NAME)
  FRS_CATALOGUE_NAME = Installer/mingw-get/catalogue

  published:
    rm -rf tmp; mkdir tmp
    cd tmp; $(LN_S) ../*/unpublished/* .; test "x`echo *`x" = 'x*x' \
       && echo "Nothing to publish" \
       || echo 'put *' | sftp $(FRS_USERNAME)@(FRS_CATALOGUE)
    rm -rf tmp */unpublished/*

should get the job done, by running:

  make FRS_USERNAME=your_sf_username published

or even just:

  make published

if we arrange to capture FRS_USERNAME as a configuration time variable,
and you define it appropriately at that time.
