1 and 3 can be done without Tramp and ange-ftp handlers. Those handlers
could be written easily afterwards; whether they shall be added to Emacs
24.1 depends on the release plans (which I don't know). If 24.1 will be
released soon, I would be in favor to add the handlers after the release.

Best regards, Michael.
