I'm referring to this passage in http://cygwin.com/setup.html:

  * Source packages are extracted in /usr/src.  On extraction, the tar
  file should put the sources in a directory with the same name as the
  package tar ball minus the -src.tar.bz2 part:

    boffo-1.0-1/Makefile.in
    boffo-1.0-1/README
    boffo-1.0-1/configure
    boffo-1.0-1/configure.in
    etc...

That is not the case for wget.
