I like the approach Micah is taking to password prompting. No matter what he
did, you'd likely have to submit a patch to customize password prompting for
VMS. If you submit a patch for a GNU library (and that project accepts it)
then that fix will become available for every future GNU application that is
released on VMS.

I think you should give Micah the benefit of the doubt. He seems to be
bending over backwards to "do the right thing" for wget and for wget's users
(including those of us who dabble at changing it).
