   Thanks for the info.

   Define "always" and "shipped" (or "official sources").  I see no vms/
directory (or descrip*.mms files) in the 1.15 "tar" kit.  Nor in the
1.14 "tar" kit.  Nor in the 1.13.4 "tar" kit.

   I'm working with the official "tar" kits.  Haven't looked at "git". 
The VMS-specific files have changed with every release.  If you weren't
shipping them in the "tar" kits, then I didn't send back explicit
updates, because it appeared (to me) that there was nothing to update.

   That's interesting, but I don't invent this stuff.  As it says at the
front of (the current) vms/config.h_vms:

/* vms/config.h_vms.   VMS-specific config.h for Wget 1.15. */
/* Hand-edited from Tru64. */
/* src/config.h.  Generated from config.h.in by configure.  */
/* src/config.h.in.  Generated from configure.ac by autoheader.  */

   That is, I ran "configure" on a Tru64 system (where the compiler most
cloesly resembles the VMS compiler), and hand-edited the result.  If the
Tru64 config.h says:

/* Define to 1 if you have the `mbrtowc' function. */
#define HAVE_MBRTOWC 1

(which it does), then you can expect to see something similar in
vms/config.h_vms.

   I'm not likely to try to change "some gnulib .h file" to clear that
one.

   Same as above.  If it's in the config.h generated on Tru64, then
it's likely to appear in vms/config.h_vms.  If you don't want to see
these things there, then don't show them to me.
