further information.
Makefiles during the build process by touching various auto{conf,make}
source files to make them up-to-date. Packages that require regenerating
the configure script and Makefile.in files should make the appropriate
calls to auto{conf,make} in a pre-configure target. This allows the
various targets listed in ${_CONFIG_PREREQ} to modify the generated files
without triggering the GNU auto* tools and having the modifications be
overwritten.
directly by patching the script. This causes LDFLAGS to be reset properly
before checking for gettext(), which now succeeds and causes the locale
files to be built. Remove USE_LIBINTL as unnecessary. Tested on
NetBSD-1.5W/i386 and NetBSD-1.5.1/mac68k.
first component is now a package name+version/pattern, no more
executable/patchname/whatnot.
While there, introduce BUILD_USES_MSGFMT as shorthand to pull in
devel/gettext unless /usr/bin/msgfmt exists (i.e. on post-1.5 -current).

* Changes in Wget 1.6
** Administrative changes.
*** Maintainership. Due to Hrvoje being plagued with a "real job",
Dan Harkless is the most active maintainer. Hrvoje still participates
occasionally, and both are being helped by many other people.
*** Web page. Thanks to Jan Prikryl, Wget has an "official" web page.
Take a look at:
http://sunsite.dk/wget/
*** Anonymous CVS. Thanks to ever-helpful Karsten Thygesen, Wget
sources are now available at an anonymous CVS server. Take a look at
the web page for downloading instructions.
** New -K / --backup-converted / backup_converted = on option causes files
modified due to -k to be saved with a .orig prefix before being changed. When
using -N as well, it is these .orig files that are compared against the server.
** New --follow-tags / follow_tags = ... option allows you to restrict
Wget to following only certain HTML tags when doing a recursive
retrieval. -G / --ignore-tags / ignore_tags = ... is just the
opposite -- all tags but the ones you specify will be followed.
** New --waitretry / waitretry = SECONDS option allows waiting between retries
of failed downloads. Wget will use "linear" backoff, waiting 1 second after the
first failure, 2 after the second, up to SECONDS. waitretry is set to 10 by
default in the system wgetrc.
** New -p / --page-requisites / page_requisites = on option causes
Wget to download all ancillary files necessary to display a given HTML
page properly (e.g. inlined images).
** New -E / --html-extension / html_extension = on option causes Wget
to append ".html" to text/html filenames not ending in regexp
"\.[Hh][Tt][Mm][Ll]?".
** New type of .wgetrc command -- "lockable Boolean". Can be set to on, off,
always, or never. This allows the .wgetrc to override the commandline. So far,
passive_ftp is the only .wgetrc command which takes a lockable Boolean.
** A number of new translation files have been added.
** New --bind-address / bind_address = <address> option for people on hosts
bound to multiple IP addresses.
** wget now accepts (illegal per HTTP spec) relative URLs in HTTP redirects.
- New, optional Makefile variable HOMEPAGE, specifies a URL for
the home page of the software if it has one.
- The value of HOMEPAGE is used to add a link from the
README.html files.
- pkglint updated to know about it. The "correct" location for
HOMEPAGE in the Makefile is after MAINTAINER, in that same
section.
