It might be possible to take some clues from mirrordir, which has a
robust implementation in some ways, but lacks a good test drive
technique to test out the many `include/exclude' possiblitities. It has
full mirroring implemented but also allows a mode colled `copydir' that
does something similar to wget.
Another nice little aspect is that it is usable locally on the file
system too.
The big drawback with it, and where wget shines is in the tenacity of
the connection.
