[dcc2] MultiFile Transfer Headers

[peter green]

file permissions are completely meaningless crossplatform and pretty
meaningless between different machines of the same type

the NT system only has meaning at all within one NT domain (or one machine
in a non domain environment)

the unix system has some meaning cross system but the owner and group are
likely to be different on the target than on the source and preserveing them
could lead to significan't security issues

could we standerdize on a chmod-like 3 digit octal number or 9bit binary
number for permissions and let the client handle encoding/decoding that into
a platform-specific manner?
