[Bug-wget] [PATCH] wget: Add --ssh-askpass support |

This adds the --ssh-askpass option which is disabled by default.
This change is to allow credential requests for both username and password
using a third party utility. The reason for this change is to avoid using a
.netrc file for credential management. With this change it will be possible to
use a password management utility that works with the existing functionality in
git.
--ssh-askpass will request the username and password for a given URL by
executing the external program pointed to by the environment variable
SSH_ASKPASS. If the environment variable is not set, an error is
returned. If an error occurs requesting the username or password, wget
will exit.
I could not find a development list for wget. Please let me know if there is a
better mailing list to use.
