I didn't know they existed.  I'll take a look when I get ready to 
release the next cygwin-wget.

Yeah, it's "just" a time thing; I got pretty bogged down in working on 
the latest cygwin (well, actually just *testing* cgf & corinna & etc's 
work.  I did no "real" work.)

I'd love to turn it over to somebody, if there are no objections.  One 
worry, though: you aren't very active on the mailing list.  I count only 
  four messages from you over the last six months (but ALL were about 
wget, so that's good) -- plus one message in May 2000 about CVS.  You do 
seem to be more informed that I about wget, where it's going, current 
development, etc. -- but will you answer list questions about it and 
stuff?  There's more to maintaining a cygwin package than just putting 
out timely releases (that's good, because otherwise with my track 
record, I'd be out of a job! <g>)
