Hi list!

Just for information and file archive.

The original author of the webbrowser calling plugin of the Gimp (the origin of webbrowser.c) gave us permission to use his functions.

I've added him to the Authors list.

Regards, ULFL

Yes, I am familiar with the program - I use it a lot for debugging
