Dan,
This is not a good way to ask a question on a dev list. While often
people are willing to give pointers, they are _not_ going to want to do
your work for you.
Go read:

If you still don't know how to ask your question, mail me off list and
I'll give you some pointers on a good question to ask (and where to ask
it).

Dan - I assume you know that you only need wget for internal DataDirect
use. Your options are:
Switch to mythfilldatabase and a locally patched tv_grab_dd to use
curl, or
If you're building a MacOS application bundle, simply include wget in
that bundle and use it.
Be well,
Will :-}
