IIRC, that was to allow the URL-extraction portion of wget to be built
stand-alone, so that it would create a tool that just extract URLs and
spit them out, and not as part of some wget run.

I haven't heard of anyone doing that for quite some time, and it hasn't
been getting active testing or support, so Caveat Attemptor or something. :)
