But install should not touch /usr/local/bin/ when the prefix is not /usr/local?

As a very minor remark: on my Ubuntu machine wget-1.15 ends "make check" with

78 tests were run
64 PASS, 0 FAIL
14 SKIP, 0 UNKNOWN

while wget-1.16 ends with

# TOTAL: 83
# PASS:  69
# SKIP:  0
# XFAIL: 0
# FAIL:  14
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0

The 14 tests that are not run for wget-1.15 are Test-ftp-iri* and Test-idn* and 
Test-iri*,
except for Test-iri-disabled.px which succeeds. These same 14 tests fail on 
wget-1.16.
