While I already committed a fix to SVN, I just wanted to comment that I do not 
consider wget a must-have utility for many years now. That is because many apps 
already require the curl library, and thus just using curl instead wget saves 
you precious space (on older PCs, embedded boards), ... curl outputs directly 
to the standard output stream, so one only needs to remember to add -O to save 
the original filename:

curl -O <url>

You could alias wget to "curl -O" :-)
