Here're two few hints when looking for a particular package for Cygwin:
1. search the mailing list archives. There are two search engines:
Cygnus' http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/cygwin/ and DJ Delorie's
http://www.delorie.com/archives/ . I seem to have much better luck
with DJ's search engine site than Cygnus'.
2. Look at Michael Hirmke's package listing. It's available from Cygnus
Cygwin site http://sourceware.cygnus.com/cygwin/ . His site URL has
changed from the old days, so that the WWW link in the archives
may not work. You can get his package listing from:
ftp://ftp.franken.de/pub/win32/develop/gnuwin32/cygwin/porters/Hirmke_Michael/GNUWin32.txt
wget-1.5.3, ftp://prep.ai.mit.edu/pub/gnu/wget/wget-1.5.3.tar.gz , builds
compiles out the box. Get it, run configure, make and install.
$ tar zxf wget-1.5.3.tar.gz
$ cd wget-1.5.3
$ ./configure -v
$ make
$ make install
If running configure as above won't work, then try the following
$ CONFIG_SHELL=bash bash configure -v
instead, everything else the same.
If you're dealing with an older version, I believe you had to get rid
of the 'extern int errno' declarations and include <errno.h> in a few
files.

Hopefully just a few minutes ...
