Description of the new feature / enhancement

Implement a GnuWin32.Wget simular to the GnuWIn32.Tar command but for *nix wget

Proposed technical implementation details

There is an issue as to why this probably has not been done for the wget command as the .exe/bin does not exist for the wget command where it does for the tar command on sourceforge.

The solution would be to lift the wget.exe into its own repo with github automation for winget, then use raw.githubusercontent.com access for the binary.

I need wget to work in GitHub Runner Actions, but the existing wgets both require restarting the terminal for setting the path apparently :-
https://winget.run/pkg/JernejSimoncic/Wget
https://winget.run/pkg/GNU/Wget2

There is also an issue with share/locale/en_GB/LC_MESSAGES/wget.mo, and also DLL's !!!
