<psuedo code>
$concise = `curl --help | wc -l`;
$lines = 132;
if ($concise < $lines) {
$curl = "concise";
}
else {
fail;
}

whoops.

And the line count comes in at nearly 3000 lines. wget, on the other
hand, is about half that (1656 on my Debian box). Now, either wget's
documentation is very much inferior, or it has less options and is
therefore easier to learn / use.

I want my wget back! I might not use it a lot, but when I want it, it's
what I want.
