Then we need a script in /usr/bin (?) to parse the files and launch the
browser. A Perl script has already been provided on Ubuntu Forums
(attached), and a dash script could probably be written if Perl is not
included by default. This script should be changed to launch the
default browser instead of hardcoded to Firefox, though.
Then a file association should be added so that this script is called
whenever a file with the application/x-mswinurl.xml MIME type is double-
clicked. I think this is just adding one line to
/usr/share/applications/defaults.list:
application/x-mswinurl=something.desktop
