I think I had all the settings right in wget.  I think there might be a bug 
in wget, at least in the cygwin version.

I originally had this, which didn't work: 
wget --http-user=myname --http-passwd=mypasswd -o wget.log \
 -H -D somedomain.org -k -p -r -N -nr \
 http://www.somedomain.org/secured/

I changed it to this, which works:
wget --http-user=myname --http-passwd=mypasswd -o wget.log \
 -H -D somedomain.org -k -p -r -l15 -N -nr \
 http://www.somedomain.org/secured/

It seems strange that wget should start recursing after only adding -l15.
I used 15 as an arbitrary high number; I'm sure that there are fewer than 
six levels at the site I wget'd.

It also seems strange that cygwin and Mandrake include wget but neither
installs the man-page wget, I figured there wasn't one.

By the way, I did complain to the web author about the stupid frames, and
about various other web-design issues.
