I, too, see little value in using Wget to copy files which are
accessible locally, but let's say that someone wished to add this
feature.  Given a link like "file:///a/b.c", what would be the
destination for the "downloaded" file on the local file system?  How
would link conversion work?

   Also, if the implementation involves something as clever as 'system(
"cp -p /a/b.c <somewhere>");', please bear in mind that such code is not
portable (to VMS, for example).
