If someone remember more details about the prior Opera browse-url
discussion, that would be useful. I tried searching a little, but
didn't find anything. I might have just imagined it... No, I found
it, here's a link:

Sorry, browse-url should support any browser, just use the
'browse-url-generic' browser and specify the name of the application
in `browse-url-generic-program'.
Giving an explicit reference to a commercial product is a step
further, and I can understand why a free program might not want to do
that.

Can you describe what your script does? Using the generic URL
browser, and then customizing `browse-url-generic-program' and
`browse-url-generic-args' seems rather flexible. I'm not sure how it
can be made more flexible.
