New description:

 As part of the effort to reduce the number of dependencies of `wget`, it
 is proposed to make metalink support in `wget` optional via a variant.

 Currently, `wget` is the only dependent on `libmetalink`, and according to
 [comment:ticket:69601:34 this comment] metalink support is disabled on
 most Linux distributions anyway (in `wget` and `curl`), so I'm hoping that
 there are no ports that indirectly depend on `get` having metalink
 support.
