This second issue of the web--browse cleanup and extension patchset has seen some stylistic changes in the first patches as discussed on the ML, and a new patch to add support for the BROWSER env var. Support for xdg-open is still missing, due to the lack of an obvious way to suggest opening pages in new tabs (same reason why we don't directly support Debian's sensible-browser).

I'm quite convinced that the first 4 patches (up to the "support opera, seamonkey and elinks" patch, inclusive) are ready for merging.

The fifth patch is slightly more extensive than in the previous iteration, including chromium-browser as a supported option, but still looking for chromium-browser first even when browser=chromium.

The last two patches are more RFCish. I tried to include the changes suggested by Christian, unless of course I forgot something. Suggestions on possible ways to improve the proposed approach are welcome.

Giuseppe Bilotta (7):
  CodingGuidelines: mention whitespace preferences for shell scripts
  web--browse: coding style
  web--browse: split valid_tool list
  web--browse: support opera, seamonkey and elinks
  web--browse: better support for chromium
  web--browse: use (x-)www-browser if available
  web--browse: look at the BROWSER env var
