Python Aule updated as Curl Browser

Over at http://www.aule-browser.com/Python/ the custom Python browser has had an update.

Each component is generated from a list of features that could be declared in Curl (as it is now) or JSON or XML or other (Rebol, Icon, Logtalk, Oz.)

The buttons on the 'menubar' and the 'toolbar' now know how to set their roll-over tip and to update the status bar.  Much of the information is declared in typed enumerations and implemented as constructed procedures of type proc in Curl.

The browser requires the Curl Surge runtime and notes on that can be found at either www.logiquewerks.com or at www.curl.com or at the aule-browser.com home page.

As a dialect there is more to do: leverage macros and remove the distinction between action and browse which pre-dated the current approach.

A tagged set of URL's would now suffice to layout a basic custom browser or a desktop applet with a constrained set of navigable links.
