GnuWin32.Wget #587

Description

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.
