No, I don't see any good reason for that. Back when I started with pca I
chose wget because it's what I knew best. Later Sun started to include
wget in Solaris, so it was a good choice. Supporting curl as well won't
have any advantage, but it will take a lot of time for testing it
against sunsolve.sun.com (which seems to be quite picky, and I already
had to implement special cases for different wget versions in the past).
I have thought about using perl's libWWW instead of wget, but it would
make installation of pca more complicated, as installing additional
modules into Sun's perl isn't easy.
