You seem to be contradicting yourself a bit. You went from
"[you shouldnt assume that] any of the /usr/sfw packages are
installed", to [some of them can be expected].

But, that being said, I can understand how wget might not be included
in a system install.
I'm just disagreeing on a solution to the issue of "let's provdide one
stop bootstrapping for opencsw".

It seems like this issue has been a little misrepresented.
We already HAVE "one line bootstrapping" via the pkgutil method.
One that is already mentioned on our web site:

# pkgadd -d http://mirror.opencsw.org/opencsw/pkgutil-`uname -p`.pkg

This doesnt seem complicated to me. A one line cut-n-paste. Easy.
