[Bug-wget] Does -o work correctly now?

[Dale R. Worley]

I've been getting a script working, and as part of it, it appears that
-o does not work correctly.  Specifically -o is supposed to send all
"messages" to a specified log file rather than stderr.  But what I see
is that no messages are sent to the log file.

The command in question is:

wget --no-verbose \
    -o ~/temp/log-file \
    --mirror --trust-server-names --convert-links --page-requisites \
    --include-directories=/assignments \
    --limit-rate=20k \
    http://www.iana.org/assignments/index.html

With the (now obsolete) wget distributed with my OS, GNU Wget 1.16.1, -o
behaves as documented.  With wget from commit 00ae9b4 (which I think is
the latest), which reports itself as GNU Wget 1.18.88-00ae-dirty, -o
seems to have no effect.

There are any number of mistakes I could have made in this test, but
since the symptom is so simple, I figured I'd ask if anyone else has
noticed whether -o works or does not in the latest commits.
