It's better to have that functionality inside wget because wget may not
sucessfully download the file. Also, wget may be downloading multiple
files (usually the case) so, wrapping wget up in a script will not allow
you to process each downloaded file.

any thoughts on this new feature for wget:
when a file has been downloaded successfully, wget calls a script with
that file as an argument.
e.g. wget -r --post-processing='myprocessor.pl' URL
would call myprocessor.pl with each file which has been downloaded.
I've already hacked the source to get wget to do this for me, but I
think many people could benefit from this.
It's much easier to throw wget into a script or other program and then
have that script/program do the post processing (why mess around with
wget?).
