[Seems this mail that I sent this morning wasn't distributed to the
ports list probably due to the maintenance of the machines at
FreeBSD.org, so I'm having a second try... I apologize to those

Don't you think ten is enough? :)

The wrapper doesn't work with mozilla derivatives because they don't
seem to provide remote protocol support currently.
