   Well, I've consolidated patches 728278, 954628, 1166780 into 754022.
Some parts of those patches were applied, some rejected, many things
changed.

   Suggested resolutions:

http://python.org/sf/728278
   Close with resolution "partially applied, partially rejected".

http://python.org/sf/754022
   Review and apply! ;)

http://python.org/sf/1166780
   Close with resolution "applied". (Though it was not applied in
exactly that form...)

http://python.org/sf/1077979
   Close with resolution "applied long ago".

http://python.org/sf/1144816
   Close with resolution "duplicate of 1077979".

   I tested the consolidated patch on Linux with Mozilla/links/elinks
browsers, and on w32 with default-browser and with Mozilla.

   I also added elinks support - currently it is very similar to links,
but I am going to extend its remote capabilities. (Yes, that small
text-mode broswer supports remoting, windows and tabs! Who'd think?!.)
   Also I'm going to add "new-tab" support similar to "new-window" for
Mozilla/Firefox and elinks.

Oleg.
