Angelo, All,

Three things:

  - wget is available from MacPorts, Homebrew and Fink; it is easy to
    install; their documentation is pretty explicit (at leat for me who
    does not even have a Mac, and never ever touched one).

  - if you consider wget to be hard to install, what about Vagrant? I
    doubt it is installed on a stock MacOS; surely the user will *have*
    to install stuff on his system...

  - if someone is not able to replace the wget incantation with a similar
    curl incantation (or the opposite), then there's a deeper problem;
    this is really 101 [1]...

So, totally irrelevant...

Which has already been applied, which is a little bit sad... :-(
