I guess I'll take a look at it, at soon as I get Alex' network code
rewrite to work :)

I know, but we may end up with another browser than Mozilla for our web
terminal, because of space considerations. We hope to end up with about
1MB for Nano-X + browser + our glue (kernel and glibc comes on top of that
of course), and it seems well within reach.

I still want to look into getting Mozilla to work on Nano-X, but that will
probably be on the side of what I'm doing at work.
