 * summary:  strangeness clicking the URLs in AboutSystem => "open" fails on
     URLs if no web browser is present (it could try wget)

Comment:

 I think the best way to fix that is having wget register itself as a
 handler for http URLs? I don't see how this would work otherwise. If
 that's the case this should be moved to haikuports?
