thanks, I have done some small changes (like using xmalloc instead of an
unchecked malloc).  Would you like to write some documentation for it as
well (in doc/wget.texi)?  Otherwise I will try to go trough it in the
weekend.

At this point I think we can go for an alpha release and if nothing very
bad happens, then get a release in 10-15 days.
