I just tried to compile wget-1.7 and wget-1.5 into Opera.  Both fell over
before the compile finished :(  We are due to replace the damn machine in
the next few weeks anyway - I will go and check with the techs on Tuesday
and find out - its always a touchy one playing with a shell server - any
changes usually brings howls of protest.  If nothing else, it will have
wget installed.
