don't worry :-)  it is not going to be deprecated.  Threading is
necessary in wget right now and your project will enable people to use
these features very soon instead of waiting for something different that
nobody is working on it right now.

Mine was just an idea and even if someday we will decide to move to
libcurl and someone is going to work on it, I expect it to be an
incremental effort that won't turn wget into something completely
different and obsoletes all we have now.
