Text correction (as suggested by Dan Kegel) - Winebrowser: Pass any given argument that is not a mailto URL to the browser

This is an enhancement for the winebrowser. Currently http urls are only
accepted if they are prefixed (http://). Although the browser should
know how to handle a given argument best (ie. add the http:// or www 
prefix). The patch passes any given argument to the browser (if it is 
not a mailto: url).
So programs like the Notes Client may use the winebrowser wrapper like 
any other browser and the user is  not forced to type the http:// URL 
prefix.

Changelog: programs/winebrowser/main.c - Assume any address given
by the user is a web page unless a protocol prefix is present
which indicates that the address is a mailto URL
