dillo browser 0.6.5

This has got to be the most carefully pronounced browser on the
market!

Reminds me, there used to be a group of women folksingers in Denver
who called themselves the Mother Folkers.  But I digress.

Someone on the xfce users group pointed this one out, and it's a real
hummer.  Tiny, fast, and quite capable.  Alas, it doesn't do frames.

It uses a dillorc config file, rather than providing config updates on
the fly.  The memory footprint (observed by tops) is about 3240K as
opposed to 27772K for Mozilla!  Starts in 1 sec as oppozed to 10 sec
for mozilla.

I can't figure out how to save bookmarks, but you can edit a mozilla
bookmarks file, remove all the trash from the HREF entries (just url
and display name), and dillo can display and use it.

It can handle most of the sites I visit, including the sxs in
frameless mode.
