8A couple of very small changes were made to this package by Stefan Boddie
9([email protected]). The USE_STDARG preprocessor definition was
10added to the VC++ makefile as it appeared to need it to compile on either
11VC++ 4.2 or VC++ 6.0. A change was also made to prevent backslashes from
12mistakenly being converted to "@5c" on windows.

142003/11/27 - [email protected] made a few more small changes to fix
15h_errno bug preventing code from compiling on latest versions of GCC.
16
172004/06/30 - [email protected] replaced version 1.5.3 with version 1.9.
18It compiled as is under Windows XP, using VC++ 6.0, under Linux using GCC 3.2.3 and GCC 2.95.3. So I haven't made any changes.
19Under Windows, I haven't compiled it with openssl, so it doesn't support https://. OpenSSL comes with a warning about it being illegal in some countries to distribute cryptographic technology, so I haven't used it. Look at wget-1.9/windows/README for Windows compiling instructions if you want to add it in.
