Since it's desired in some situations but maybe not in others, the best 
solution would be to provide a switch for it that can be used in a 
user's .wgetrc and on the command line.


Now we only need to find out what's the desired default behaviour if the 
switch is missing. ;-)

Well, yes, except I can't really imagining anyone ever _using_ such a
switch. Though I could envision people using the .wgetrc option. Still
seems like a lot of trouble to make a new option for such a little
thing. One could always use -nv in a pinch.
