That's where you're wrong.  Using a cygwin version of wget DOES gain
things.  For example, the native win32 doesn't understand cygwin paths, so
it doesn't integrate seamlessly with the rest of cygwin applications.
Also, the cygwin wget (via cygwin managed mounts) can wget files named
nul, aux, index.html vs. Index.html, etc which the native wget cannot.
