Re: Lablwebkit preview

I forgot to mention there was a demo app which is built by default.
You can find it as lib/dummy_browser with the source being
lib/test_browser.ml. It's really very simple. If you want to load
something else than caml.inria.fr at startup, run ./dummy_browser
'http://google.com', don't forget the 'http://' part though.
The code is very short as you can see.
