[gopher] New Cross-Platform Gopher GUI Client

[James Mills]

Okay... So running from /Applications/gopher.app/Contents/MacOS works

$ ./gopher

I've run into several stack-traces though (Access Violation -- pascal days
coming back to me!)

e.g: https://gist.github.com/5a7011f0c987ebf7db849169e14a8c59

Also fonts are terrible on OS X (btw). I typically use OS X's buitin
accessibility zoom (because I'm legally blind) and whatever fonts or
however content is being rendered in the gopher client is really bad :(

cheers
James
