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.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by locating the existing GnuWin32.Tar command and reviewing the linked SourceForge wget archive and GitHub automation article. Done means wget.exe is available from a dedicated repository through raw.githubusercontent.com and the corresponding winget package can use it.
