RE: [discuss] web start / JNLP

We'd love to have a webstart'd LimeWire, Vik.  If you'd like to muck around
with the initialization code to make sure that LimeWire picks up the
appropriate jars & can verify their integrity, as well as not require files
to be in its 'current directory', that's what's required before writing the
webstart wrapper.

Thanks,
 Sam
