Hello haskellers, While ago I had a question about opening the url in the default browser from haskell program. I didn't get any immediate answers so I wrote my own solution. On Linux it uses xdg-open and on Windows - ShellExecute Api. Later I received a letter saying what similar functionality was recently implemented in trunk version of gtk2hs but is currently unavailable as binary package. Code I wrote works quite well for my purposes and I copied it into several my programs. In order to make maintenance easier I recently thought about uploading it to hackage. But given a wast amount of half-dead packages with intersecting functionality there I'd like to ask the opinion of community. Does such library look helpful to you? Dmitry
