In Pharo 2.0 one can now use 

  NBWin32Shell shellBrowse: 'http://www.pharo-project.org'

which will open an external webbrowser on the given URL. This is currently 
limited
to Windows.

Anyone able to implement/call appropriate NB functions for Mac and Linux?
I would like to see a unified interface coming with 2.0

  NBWebbrowser shellBrowse: url

dispatching to the appropriate class depending on OS.

Since these days a lot of work is done using webbrowsers I think
a unified way to open a browser on a given URL is required for Pharo.

I also need this for the upcoming Pharo online help to work on all major 
platforms.

Thanks
T.
