Subject:	wget or curl as base package

I feel that wget or curl should be a Cygwin base package. I looked at these
distros and they all come with one or both pre-installed.

    Debian    wget
    Arch      wget  curl
    Fedora          curl
    openSUSE  wget  curl
    Puppy     wget  curl
    MSYS2           curl

Including wget for example would require these packages

    wget          683,044
    libgnutls28   397,328
    libhogweed2   116,360
    libidn11       38,004
    libnettle4     83,768
                1,318,504

Current base requires 22,862,970 of packages.
