wget2 is the successor of wget supplying a shared library API like curl to build
a modern, fast, multi-threaded, parallel downloader using HTTP/2, HTTP
compression and If-Modified-Since headers; see

	https://gitlab.com/gnuwget/wget2

It is currently available on Arch, Debian/Ubuntu, openSUSE, Slackware:

I could release the package as is with an exe and dll, but it should be built as
separate bin, lib, devel, doc, and debuginfo packages, which I have never done
before, so could do with some advice and assistance with the apporach required,
which I based on curl, but that requires no script function overrides, and I
believe this one may or I need some hints.

I have attached my base wget2.cygport which builds one monolithic package but
contains comments for subpackage variables, plus comments showing other files
which I think should be included in the subpackages, and both references to
their locations in subpkg_CONTENTS and alterbative src_install script actions if
cygport will not move the contents into the appropriate install directory.

I also need to understand how cyg...dll package numbering should work with this
package: base zero or one and include or exclude the 2: libwget0, libwget1,
libwget2_0, or libwget2_1, and how to get that generated?

Any advice, assistance, help, or hints from more experienced packagers would be
welcome.

I can also update and release what may be the last patched version of the
original wget 1.20.3 (currently 1.19.1) if Eric has no time, or ITA wget if he
agrees.

I could also ITA curl from Yaakov as I use that and wget a lot in scripts and
cron jobs.
