default wine browser

[Chris Morgan]

Alright, here is a patch and script file.  One interesting thing, I can run 
konqueror fine but mozilla appears to have some issue starting up.  I get 
these odd error messages on the console with mozilla:

Failed to create E:\/gconfd-cmorgan: No such file or directory
Failed to create E:\/gconfd-cmorgan: No such file or directory

Is this due to wine setting the TEMP environment variable?  I've tried 
overriding that in the winebrowser script but it doesn't seem to make any 
difference.  Ideas on how to fix this?

One other issue, what to do when the user doesn't have a web browser 
installed?   I can't imagine this is a likely case but in any event since the 
script will exist there won't be any kind of error returned by ShellExecute() 
when it is called on a url.  Not something to worry about?


* tools/winebrowser, tools/wineinstall, tools/Makefile.in, winedefault.reg

Add  HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\classes\http\shell\open\command key and 
value.  Winebrowser script.  Makefile changes to install/remove script.  
Wineinstall should create a simlink from windows/winebrowser.exe to the 
location of winebrowser on the machine.
