 Eeek.. That would be QUITE a hack.. Hmm.. You'd need prob need to hack
wget so that it produced output like this:
say for squid's site
\squld.nlanr.net\index.html
...
(^^ See, complete url)..

Then you severly hack a copy of some proxy server (maby squid.. or maby
something easier to hack)... Or maby you write a script that listens on a
port and recieves proxy requests in the form of
http://squid.nlanr.net/index.html
and reads the approiate file..

Then you configure squid with your fake proxy set as the only parent..
Then you rerun wget with the exact same paramaters to populate your
squid..

OR you could just make a program to take your wgeted stuff and orginise it
into a squid cache directory structure and create the metadata.. Then you
feed it to squid..
