Now I *think* I've successfully set up the Package Manager on my Mac (I'm sure 
you'll be hearing back from me if I haven't!)

Three points:
1) 
http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/JAL/j601#direct
"Though not recommended, the archives can be downloaded for manual  
installation or diagnosis from the distribution location."
Not recommended - and yet at the moment this is the only way to do it.

2)
http://www.jsoftware.com/jal/j601/library/
Only two versions here, one for Linux and one for Windows.
Well I went ahead and installed the Linux version, guessing that OSX 
approximates more closely to Linux than to Windows, but I have no idea if I'll 
be regretting that.

3)
http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/JAL/Package_Manager#head-e71aa7ad7f0a3b1d465211252b9de8ae639e2533
http://www.jsoftware.com/jwiki/System/Installation/Mac#wget
Both these sources are quite explicit that wget is a necessary prerequisite.
And yet it seems to have worked just fine with curl (again not quite sure yet!)
