I have built without problems wget for windows leaving out ssl support.
If you also want https, you simply need a static version of 
openssl/gnutls as
Giusseppe says. Which mostly depends on the headaches those libraries give
you :)
Note however that you may build with a ssl lib and still need, in 
addition to
wget.exe, a ca bundle for accepting valid certificates. Otherwise your 
ssl support
will only be usable with --no-check-certificate
