Do you mean same group, e.g. "NET"? Because mTCP is explicitly
8086-friendly while (32-bit DJGPP) builds of GNU Wget are not.

BTW, Michael Kostelev made some more recent builds of Wget and Curl,
if anyone wishes to try them:

http://mik.dyndns.pro/dos-stuff/bin/

There's also "../src", but I'm not exactly sure whether (or how
exactly, correctly) to mirror them for us just yet. These depend on
third-party libraries (not just Watt-32), so it's a bit confusing,
esp. since they aren't easy (for me) to rebuild from scratch.

Those might not be a good idea to include just yet.   :-(

I assume he means "packet" drivers, e.g. NE2000.COM or PCNTPK.COM.
(Note that not all Crynwr drivers are open source!)

I don't know what this means.

I can't speak for him, but my opinion is that it should be separate.
Then again, if it's going on the .iso anyways ....
