Summary: Build of wget-1.9.1-mingwPORT Fails

Initial Comment:
Attempting to build this mingwPORT, I observe three
errors, viz:-

1) wget-1.9.1/src/mswindows.c:140: warning: unreachable
code at beginning of switch statement

Although only a warning, this isn't one which I am
comfortable leaving without investigation.

2) gcc -O3 -s -mms-bitfields -march=i686 -o wget.exe
... object_files... -lws2_32
ftp.o(.text+0x2f2f):ftp.c: undefined reference to
`ftruncate'
http.o(.text+0x2fee):http.c: undefined reference to
`ftruncate'

It's this missing reference to the one symbol,
`ftruncate' which actually breaks the build.

3) After failing the `make' phase, the mingwPORT
continues to attempt a `make install' from the
incomplete build.  This causes a repeated attempt to
link `wget.exe', but this time *without reference to
`-lws2_32'*, resulting in many more misleading
`undefined reference' errors.

Hmm.  The missing `ftruncate' is addressed by providing an
inline function definition in current `unistd.h'.  Mine must
be too old;  guess it's time for an upgrade :-)

Its companion, `truncate' doesn't seem to be provided;
perhaps we should consider adding it too.

I'll keep this ticket open for now, as reminder to fix
portmaker, to suppress the `make' and `make install' phases,
after a failing `configure', and the `make install' after a
failing `make'.
