 Macports devels,

 This is an enhancement I'd really like. I tend to use wget as my "URL
 getter" of choice mainly because of muscle memory ('wget' instead of 'curl
 -O' flies off my fingers better).

 So, I'd like to install wget on my Mac. But, I try to keep my Macports
 installs fairly lean for the times I need to rebuild them all, etc. But,
 lets say I want wget:

 That seems a bit much for wget, a program even GNU says works on non-X
 terminals:

 {{{
 GNU Wget is a free software package for retrieving files using HTTP, HTTPS
 and FTP, the most widely-used Internet protocols.
 It is a non-interactive commandline tool, so it may easily be called from
 scripts, cron jobs, terminals without X-Windows support, etc.
 }}}

 The fact that it seems to need all of X and TeXLive as well as bits of
 Python and Perl (parts of which I have installed). My guess is because its
 docs need TeX might be triggering this?

 Could there possibly be a way to create a "lite" variant that might end up
 just getting wget and maybe some simple GNU tools? Maybe by only building
 manpages and not docs that need texinfo?
