As I said in person: this would be much better if instead the host
property referred to a named TFTP scope/server.  Otherwise you have to
set a whole bunch of host properties identically.

Something like:
  * Replace references to $c{Tftp*} with a new indirection involving
    $ho.  Perhaps just $ho->{Tftp}{*}.  (Involves formulaic patch made
    with perl -i, perhaps.)
  * In selecthost, look up a TftpScope host property and then
    $c{TftpFoo_$scope} for each TftpFoo (except, I guess, when
    $scope is "default" or something).
  * In selectguest, copy a reference to the hosts's $ho->{Tftp}.

This definitely shouldn't be a host property because it needs push
gate version control.
