I really don't think removing Dillo is the right thing to do. It is
widely used - I use it every day, for example. I am not aware of
any other browser which has the same speed and window-handling
which is particularly suitable for images. Even with https support
turned off it would still be very useful.

I am working on fixing the actual SSL checking problem (there is some
certificate-checking code in there already - it just doesn't seem to
be working right, so it doesn't look too intractable).

Presumably the https support has been broken for years and that didn't
cause it to get thrown out, so chucking it now, just because the
problem has been noticed, is not warranted - it's a huge regression. 

We can warn people prominently in the postinst or just turn off ssl.
Hopefully I can actually fix the problem. So hold off binning it please.

Wookey
