- Parsing links from CSS files, and from CSS content found in HTML
style tags and attributes.

<ted.mielczarek@gmail.com>.

+3987). When support is enabled (default), links with non-ASCII bytes
+are translated from their source encoding to UTF-8 before percent-encoding.

+ IRI support was added by Saint Xavier <wget@sxav.eu>, as his
+ project for the Google Summer of Code.

+support alternative default names for index.html.
+
** --ask-password option (and associated wgetrc command) added to
support password prompts at the console.
** The --input-file option now also handles retrieving links from
an external file.
+** The output generated by the --version option now includes
+information on how it was built, and the set of configure-time options
+that were selected.
+
** Several previously existing, but undocumented .wgetrc options
are now documented: save_headers, spider, and user_agent.
