webdavclient4j pretty cool

[Alex-SF]

I am looking at webdavclient4j (http://sourceforge.net/projects/
webdavclient4j/) as a possible replacement for our webdav client
dependencies and noticed it includes a handy command line tool.

The tool lets you connect to a WebDAV server and then access it using
ftp/shell-like commands. Curious if anybody would like this included
in the ControlTier distribution.

Here's the help output and my listing a collection.

I would like to see something like this included, definitely! Have a
couple of ideas of how I could use it!

Would you mind doing the honors and log this as a feature request? :)
