I would consider this worse than not including it because if you don’t do it 
right
you get all sorts of problems. My main concern is the it should hardcode to
$(bindir)/wget as passed to configure or e.g. /opt/csw/bin/wcat with 
/opt/csw/bin
not in the path would result in invoking the wrong (or none at all) wget. This
requires substitution during configure and not being put in contrib.


Best regards
