IIRC, that was to allow the URL-extraction portion of wget to be built stand-alone, so that it would create a tool that just extract URLs and spit them out, and not as part of some wget run. I haven't heard of anyone doing that for quite some time, and it hasn't been getting active testing or support, so Caveat Attemptor or something. :) -mjc
