Jindrich,

  As you have "already touched" this part of the code, think about one 
more feature: replace "/#ftp"-like prefixes to "ftp://"-like on command 
line substitution (%d, %D,  M-Enter, etc.)
   In most cases such substitution is used to form an argument of a 
command, i.e. "rmp -i %D/%F", or "lynx -dump %D" . Currently, only 
internal "cd" command can eat "/#ftp:" . 
  An ideal variant is: internal cd can handel both "mc" and "general" 
form, command line substitution should mostly use "general" form.

  I have a patch (written some years ago) for "ftp://" case...
