Many devscripts choose on the fly whether to use curl or wget,
depending on what is installed. So far rc-alert was using solely
wget. The following patches tries to rectify this.
1. rc-alert is a Perl script. Can you verify that the patch is
correct, and reasonbly written, As far as Perl is concerned?
2. Are the following pairs equivalent?
2.1 curl -qsR -C - $url
wget -qN --no-continue $url
2.2 curl -qs $url
wget -q -O - $url
