Not necessarily -- I just want wget to output "last filename on that list"
and then do the comparison... I guess the comparable thing "manually" would
be to download the directory listing, strip out the last file with awk or
something related, and then use wget to do a "-N" and download it if that
file doesn't exist locally.

I don't care about the older files, but if there's a way to automate not
having to write the "last filename" script outside of wget it'd be easier.
