[PATCH] Accept "user" as an alias for "login" in .netrc

[Gerald Pfeifer]

On one of my system I have been getting warnings like

  wget: .../.netrc:2: unknown token "user"
  wget: .../.netrc:2: unknown token "..."
  wget: .../.netrc:8: unknown token "user"
  wget: .../.netrc:8: unknown token "..."
  wget: .../.netrc:15: unknown token "user"
  wget: .../.netrc:15: unknown token "..."

for quite a while (where those entries were used by formail among others).

Digging into this a bit, into the wget sources, I found that wget solely 
accepts "login" to specify usernames in .netrc.

This patch makes wget more flexible to also accept "user", like fetchmail
does, and hence silences those warnings.


(I hope providing a patch like this is okay?)

Thanks,
Gerald
