wget was not updated, but a trigger for recompiling it if gettext was changed
was added (twice, after I removed my addition after the first time ;)).
However, due to Sorcery not doing full depends sorting, there is no gaurantee
that gettext would be compiled before wget (other than alphabetical order).
