That's not really friendly to those who download precompiled binaries,
since the situation on the machine where wget was built and where it
will be used can be very different.

Anyway, Rpcrt4.dll comes with all version of Windows from 2000 and up.

As I wrote in another message, I think we should try loading it at run
time, when it is first needed, using LoadLibrary.  If we link with
-lrpcrt4, wget will simply refuse to run on a system where the DLL is
not available, even if the related functionality is never required by
whatever command line is used to invoke wget.
