Upstream supplied the attached patch which broke the build (cygport attached)!
I since applied my own (attached) patch to fix only the bashisms ('[+=]=' which
are not caught by checkbashisms[.pl]!), which builds with gnutls, and passes the
tests.

Building with OpenSSL works but does not appear activated in -V output, although
https works, but strange internal error messages are generated.
I have passed on the info and my feedback upstream:

	https://github.com/rockdaboot/wget2/issues/232#issue-730750694

I have now put the packages up on Google Drive for review in another post.

Thanks very much for your help, and others who assisted!
