2008-06-xx:
* version 1.2
* IMPORTANT: removed old :buffers! buffer window, as it was ugly and slightly broken
use "B" or :buffers instead
* IMPORTANT: input fields are not blured anymore by default after a page has loaded
use :set [no]focuscontent to control the behavior (thanks Paul Sobey for the
generous donation which made this behavior possible)

too unpredictable

:open, :tabopen and :winopen

with a hidden tab bar.

completions for :open. Works only when 'wildoptions' contains "auto"
* new wildoptions=auto option (default off for now), to automatically list
