which programs require mozilla, and what is the nature of this requirement?

Do these programs make use of mozilla specific libraries, or do these programs simply use a html interface, similar to how cups uses localhost:637?

Granted, an X11 browser is useful when running fullscreen XDarwin, but I'd rather not see a situttion develop wherein fink will insist on building, and rebuilding mozilla in situations where
-"/sw/bin/mozilla mypage.html"
+"open -a /Applications/Omniweb mypage.html"
That is what the "launch" package is for. (URL helper, lets you do "launch http://www.cnn.com/"; - opens in default OS X browser). AFAIK most of the apps that depend on mozilla really do need its libraries. Mozilla is far more than a browser, it is an entire application framework and environment.
