Actually, doing this would solve a number of similar problems, and it
doesn't look to be too difficult to do.  I would make the additional
argument a `void *'; fts's comparison trampoline function could use
this as a `FTS *' to look up the comparison function.  (I think this
is more general than passing any kind of function pointer.)
