Recently I tried to use wget with a SOCKS proxy (ssh tunnel), but it doesn't work at all. Then I trace the codes and documentation from the sources tarball. I couldn't found anything but the lines in doc/ChangeLog.

    * wget.ṫexi <Overview>: Remove references to no-longer-supported
    socks library.

Reproducible: Always

Actual Results:  
emerge wget with USE="socks5" will pull net-proxy/dante as well, but wget doesn't use it at all.

Expected Results:  
The USE flag should be removed.
