Maybe I just misinterpreting this [1]? What Darshit said about removing old
server code from the codebase will make Wget2 more stable since we will not be
susceptible to bugs in the HTTP Server code. 
So, if it is better options, I will amend my current change, make MHD optional,
give fallback to the old server code if MHD not available.

That's our goal too. Make libwget as alternative for libcurl.
