Openwebfolder has the following description:

"*openwebfolder* itself does *not* contain any platform-independant WebDAV
related code. It just adds hooks so that Microsoft's "Webfolder" WebDAV
client can be invoked in a similar way like in IE."

So this is a windows only solution. May be we should have some logic like:

if (IE) {
  // Use native webdav support in IE.
} else if (FF && Win32) {
  // Use openwebfolder.
} else if (FF) {
  // Use FoXWiki.
}

But first someone has to evaluate if openwebfolder + FF on Win32 is better
than FoXWiki + FF on the same. Anyway, I'm not sure if above logic can be
implemented or if it is the best approach, someone has to digg a little
deep.

Just my opinion :)
