I'm trying to package wget-1.11.3 for cygwin.  But you have several GNU
Coding Standard compliance problems that is making this task more
difficult than it should be.  GCS requires that your testsuite be run by
'make check', but yours is a no-op.   Instead, you provide 'make test',
but that fails to compile if you use a VPATH build.  And even when using
an in-tree build, it fails as follows:

./Test-proxied-https-auth.px && echo && echo
/bin/sh: ./Test-proxied-https-auth.px: No such file or directory

After commenting that line out, the following tests are also missing:

        ./Test-proxy-auth-basic.px
        ./Test-N-current-HTTP-CD.px

Test-N-HTTP-Content-Disposition.px fails, since it didn't add the
- --content-disposition flag to the wget invocation.

Several Test--spider-* tests fail, because an expected error code of 256
is impossible (exit status is truncated to 8 bits).

Also, your hand-rolled Makefile.in don't support --datarootdir.  I'm not
sure whether you are interested in migrating to using Automake, which
would solve a number of these issues; let me know if you would be
interested in such a patch.

Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
