And, on a side note, my apologies for renaming it from xdg-open
to xdg-open-url.  I wanted to start more basic; the thinking was that
'third tier' WMs (even twm) could probably support some form of open-url,
but that the more sophisticated 'open' behaviors (e.g. with README)
weren't guaranteed.

Cheers,

Jeremy
