Hmm... fails in wget 1.7, but seems to work to a certain extent in
wget 1.8.2.  Of course, it doesn't help if you're trying to recurse
through a site that has absolute links into itself (e.g.
<a href="/SSK@blahblah/4//activelink.png">, or to other freesites.
And it produces *slightly* weird results when it hits web links
(/__CHECKED_HTTP__www.foobar.com).  But it's a very clever and
useful trick.  Thanks.
