Im working on some changes to wget, im experimenting with

 - A seperate retrieve function so i can use it for an apt-get like applet
im working on.
 - Use the common base64 encodeing for http authentication and uuencode
 - Make it more flexible for compiling with different options, i.e.
definable support for HTTP FTP FILE PROXY, maybe the last two are going
overboard
 - Avoiding getopt_long (but havent done a comparison yet)

Ive checked for superficial bugs, but its pretty new, oh, and its a bit
smaller as well.
