Honestly I don't understand the rant. To goal here is to have
buildroot running on Mac Os X without too much effort.

Why the heck I should install macports or fink or whatever other tool
in this world only to have wget when curl is already there?
Then we should also write some documentation on which of this tree way
to install wget is preferred ...

Installing vagrant is indeed straightforward, download the dmg file
and double click it.

Sincerely, Angelo.
