Hacking the HTML code to generate a text widget was a bad approach  
because measurement were off by a few pixels all the time and I got  
either funny word wraps or silly scrollbars. I then tried to  
implement the text-only dialog with Fl_Text_Display on top of a  
Fl_Help_View, but the code was starting to become a horrible mess.

We are so close to 1.1.8, and it is a very bad idea to create big  
messes just before a release, so I decided to save the effort for the  
next release, maybe even expanding the idea to make all label text in  
FLTK selectable.

Getting 1.1.8 out must be top priority right now. Then we have to  
discuss the next steps.

PS: Code is not lost. It's all in the SVN and can be easily found via  
the SVN log.
