Our tftp does not support the "tsize" option (RFC 1784/RFC 2349) as far
as I can tell.

Using "pxelinux" to boot remote penguins seems to require this.
the "hpa-tftpd" seems to have evolved from a BSD one, and has a compatible
license. I will make a pkgsrc for it soon, but I wonder if it might be
worth replacing our libexec/tftpd with it.
