   I've reworked the patch once more. I moved some common functionality
into the UnixBrowser class and added two new features - Elinks launcher
class (elinks supports remote commands in a manner very similar to
Mozilla) and new-tab functionality for browsers that support tabbed
browsing (Mozilla and elinks); a user can now run "webbrowser -t URL" to
open the URL a new tab. All classes in the module are now new-style
classes (except for the Error class).
   All .open() methods accept "new" parameter: 0 - open the url in the
same window, 1 - open in a new window (0 and 1 codes works as before),
and new code 2 - open in a new tab if possible.

   These are probably the last features I wanted to add to the module.

Oleg.
