  FTPCLIENT_INSTALL_TARGET should be YES, in capitals, else it will NOT install.
(Actually, YES is the default so you can just remove that line).

  Maybe we should check that _INSTALL_TARGET etc. are either YES or NO.  But
I'm afraid that will make an empty make much slower again...  So maybe there
should be a 'make ftpclient-wtf-is-wrong-with-it' that does the checks :-)
