wget-1.15-1 vx wget-1.13-4, LANG and cron

[First Last <cygwin.user@gmail.com>]

I had trouble when I updated to wget-1.15-1.

I have a cron script that grabs a camera picture using
wget.  It failed with the new wget-1.15-1.

1) wget stderr has a line:
     Saving to: 'filename'

In wget-1.13.4-1 the delimiter before the filename is a
backtick and after the filename there is a single quote.
Also if the URL contains a <space> the filename has
a <space>.

In wget-1.15-1 both delimiters are single quotes, at
least with LANG=C.  A space in the URL results in
a "%20" in the filename.


2) wget-1.15-1 is more sensitive to LANG etc.

When I ran the repaired script from bash it worked fine,
but under cron without setting LC_ALL or LANG the
wget-1.15-1 stderr output filename delimiters were wide
characters.

Setting
   export LC_ALL=C LC_CTYPE=C LANG=C
at the top of the cron script returned the single quote
delimiters.  Working fine now.
