Thanks, Alexander, for the explanation.
Nonetheless, I find it somewhat annoying to have to install all the
dependencies, including a lot which seem to have to do with font rendering
and doc building, to install a command line utility and what appear to be
its required libraries. 8P
I suspect I will either find a wget binary, build a version myself without
gnutls (which does seem to configure fine from wget sources, provided you
do --without-ssl), or just learn to use curl instead.
