Ok, I can buy that.

I have a feeling that extensibility situation of this script is similar to
that of mergetool/difftool.  Perhaps a similar approach to refactor and
then support browser-specific peculiarities by separate files, outlined in
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/134906/focus=135006
might work well, don't you think?
