i made some changes to the code of the context menu.

1. simplify code. the previous design looks weird (returning an
array) and redundant; i removed some code in YLView.

2. make the context menu more "standard". i added "search in
spotlight", separators, and renamed "google" ti "search in google"
(TODO: localization), as in apple mail and safari.

3. i wonder if we should keep the first three url menuitems (http://,
0rz, tinyurl) because i have no idea at all when they could be useful.
why not just clicking on the url? (i understand if a url has no
prefix, e.g., simply "www.google.com", we might have to modify the url
recognition function or use the context menu).

4. how to use ip lookup? in the context menu or via mouse support?

I've no idea about these three items, too. I'm wondering if they're really useful for Taiwan people. You know, ptt have many differences with most of BBS in mainland. Maybe our Taiwan friends in this group have some ideas about these three items?

i am just wondering why not just clicking on urls directly...

btw, for the toolbar thing, now users may have to drag a default set
*manually*; otherwise some buttons may not show up. probably we could
delete some toolbar key in defaults (try "defaults org.net9.Welly")
when starting welly for the first time.
