Thomas, 

I finally found the time to file a bug (#4322) concerning urllib/2. 

And thanks to your suggestions I could solve my problem of a
contrib-enhanced program not showing up in the browser window. I found out
that - at least under Windows - the cache/downloads directory for
contributions has to be located on the same drive/partition as the
application's source files. Otherwise the browser simply stops processing
the generated application as soon as the first module of the contribution is
supposed to be loaded. No error, no indication, no nothing - neither in
Firefox nor in Firebug.

I didn't dig very deep into this issue, but my impression is that the
generator doesn't seem to find/include the contrib files if they are stored
on another partition than the application itself. Do you want me to file a
bug?
