when wget is built with gnutls, it has the opportunity to use gnutls'
TOFU (trust on first use) style of certificate verification [0].  This
has the potential to make wget behave similarly to ssh.

Is there any interest in exposing this feature to users of wget (only
when built with gnutls, and when requested by the user, of course).

It's better than --no-check-certificates for dealing with self-signed
certs that the user visits more than once.

What do wget folks think of this possible feature?
