Re: url-history.el: variable url-history-track defined but not used

Unfortunately, url-history.el still has the definition of the variable
url-history-list despite the ChangeLog item

	* url-history.el (url-history-list): Var deleted.


Furthermore, I would like to suggest that the simplications done to
url-history.el could also be applied to url-cookie.el as in the
following patch:
