Say, Rory, I notice that there are several classes that were deprecated several 
years ago, with a notice that they would be removed in 2.0.  I think it would be 
good to keep this promise and remove these before release as their presence only 
causes confusion.

FTPFileListParser
FTPFileListParserImpl
DefaultFTPFileListParser

Additionally there are several deprecated methods in FTPClient, some of which 
take params of the above classes.  These methods should also be removed.
