I've been needing this for some time -- it's really annoying that httrack
can't just fetch a page and all it's requirements in the way I expected with
-r1 -n. So I created this patch against 3.33.16, which appears to work. I
think it's better than Monty's change which is limited to certain file
suffixes, something that could be achieved already with filters. This one
makes the -n option work as I think most people expect it to when used in
conjunction with -r. I have not tested exhaustively but it seems to work for
me.
