change in wget logfile behavior

- Authentication-results: sourceware.org; auth=none
Recently, I guess since wget was upgraded to 1.19, whenever I run wget I get a
bonus message on the console:
Redirecting output to ‘wget-log’.
And sure enough, wget creates the file ~/wget-log, which is usually empty.
This behavior is annoying, and new. It can be worked around by putting
logfile = /dev/stderr
in /etc/wgetrc.
Eric, I guess you're aware of this change. Would you consider putting the above
into the default /etc/wgetrc, so people don't have to make the chnage separately
on all of their hosts?
Thanks,
Andrew
