I want to browse the web.  I need no source code to do that, nor do I
want any if the result is Mozilla.

And still, nothing to do with CVS.  CVS works great.  Get it rigged up,
let it suck down source overnight, and put your shoulder to it.  May I

1.  %-complete indication in downloading dialog box window titles, so
that when minimized one can tell what the heck they are.
2.  A context menu for the email composer.
