fwiw, in Chromium OS, we've been moving the opposite direction -- away from 
gnutls & nss and only to openssl.  but i guess it's not that big of a deal to 
also move to curl and away from wget if need be.  i think most distros tend to 
default to wget && openssl too (since more projects support openssl).  but 
having GNU projects favor their own is not surprising.
