wxHtmlWindow - handling clicks on links?

[rtg at rochester.rr.com]

We could easily make the default behavior work whichever we want. There's 
probably an existing Squeak package that opens URLs, but I don't know for
sure. If there isn't, I think we could use WxMimeTypesManager and 
WxFileType to construct a system command that could be sent to wxExecute.
