I don't have a better suggestion. You should know that adding the ability to 
invoke external helper commands is a feature that was being discussed for wget 
2.0 when Micah was the maintainer. I don't know if there are plans to start 
such development any time in the near future.

However, this sounds like a fairly straightforward change to the program so you 
might want to take a crack at it (or ask your favorite programmer to do so).
