I was just thinking loudly.  We are not going to support it on all
platforms and I would like that the wget configurations work more or
less portably.  An alternative would be to just warn the user if it is
not supported (or even silently skip it).

After looking at the code, I think we should consider some performance
numbers before we decide to include TFO in wget, to counter-balance
the cost of the increased code paths we have to deal with.
