experimental js and ajax capable text browser

[Kirk Reiser]

Yes, it is being actively worked on.  It is pretty slow because
there's only two of us doing much and only one of us really working on
it all the time.  We usually just post any updates to the mailing list
we've set up for the project and even then it is not a high traffic
list.

It uses a lot of dependencies and so getting it to the point where it
compiles and runs cleanly in user space has been my most recent
project.  I believe we have made good progress on that.  I don't mean
userspace I mean as a standard nonroot user.

Brandon is working on debugging js related bugs and I am going to work
on the bookmarking code next.  There is still a lot of work to do but
it is coming along quite nicely I believe.
