Hi David,

It is now possible to accomplish what you want as follows, in your rc,
with the new utility function `set_default_browser_object':

   set_default_browser_object("find-url", browser_object_alternate_url);

Likewise for the commands find-url-new-buffer and find-url-new-window,
if you use those commands.

I agree with your observation that there is a troubling amount of code
duplication between browser_object_url and browser_object_alternate_url.
Things to think about.  I hesitate to declare that following a blank url
automatically equates to reload, and I think the browser-object system
is the right place to deal with this.
