Yes, as I wrote, it is a quick hack. A real solution would be a rewrite of the init stuff (I saw that already somewhere on the Wget 2.0 wish list or somewhere - don't remeber exactly). I already wrote this kind of code and would contribute it to Wget. But i am unshure how to apply it to Wget. Since it would be a pretty big change, should i git-clone Wget and you merge later or do you create a new branch or ... Ah, than we again have to discuss that infamous c89/c99 thing. AFAIR, the main argument against c99 came from Daniel Stenberg (Curl, haxx.se) who mentioned MS Visual C not being C99 ready (it will never be, said MS). I just saw that Debian has MinGW cross compiler packets for Win32 and Win64 with gcc 4.6, but I have no experience with those. Does anybody know if that is a real alternative to MS VC ? Regards, Tim
