Great! We can definitely use this, thanks!

Please be advised of a couple of things:

1. In order to include your work in Wget, you, and possibly your
employer, will need to sign papers assigning copyright over your work to
the Free Software Foundation, or at the least disclaiming interest in
the copyright ("public domain"). I'll get that process started once
you've submitted a first-draft of the patch.

2. Please work against the latest available development sources, it
makes it much easier for me to deal with patches when they're against
recent code. See http://wget.addictivecode.org/HelpingWithWget, and
particularly http://wget.addictivecode.org/PatchGuidelines.

Also, please do keep me apprised of your progress; it's a lot easier for
me to ask you to make adjustments while you're still working on the
code, rather than when you're "already finished". :)
