It havent just learned gopher, it has known that since the
begining, hurl and i type is what was added.

sizewise we are looking at this:

-rwxr-xr-x 1 rachael users 1867964 May 29 08:55 Mosaic*

A stipped Mosaic-ck takes up 1.8mb, are we really to low on memory 
that it would be meaningful to start and poke away at libwww2 to remove 
anything but gopher form it ?
Would be easier to start from scratch, mosaic has a lot crud in there, 
you could spend an ethernety untangling the spagitty, and still be left 
with all the holes.
