Actually, I forgot ... the package.el *installer* uses url if
available, otherwise it uses wget.  (If wget isn't available the
installer just fails.)

package.el itself uses url; the installer will download and install
url as the first package if you are using Emacs 21.  Emacs 22 and
later include url.
