Hi, I'd like to merge this patch:

There's servers that use self-signed certificates, which essentially break source retrieval. Any objections?

Yes, if wget is always going to be called with that, I believe it would be better to just do alias wget="wget --no-check-certificate", rather than define a variable to do essentially the same thing.
Here's my version of essentially the same patch, however it adds a variable which controls whether not to call wget with --no-check-certificate and converts to using alias instead of $DOWNLOAD_OPTS/$CHECK_CERT. -- ~predatorfreak GnuPG Public key: http://pred.dcaf-security.org/dcafsec-pub-gpgkey.asc
