 NOTES
=========

* wget has a global configuration file, in debian /etc/wgetrc, and a per-user
  file, ~/.wgetrc. Don't set "http_proxy" or "ftp_proxy" or you will not have
  the possibilty to change this value, because Wget override values set in 
  environment with the ones in configuration file.

* for KDE version < 2.0pre, add to configure:
    --enable-kurlerr-req
    --enable-kaction-err

* When kmago crash, wget processes remain active in background, so you have to
  kill them manually. Please submit a bug report (now bug report pops up 
  automatically on parse errors).
