Hi,
current trunk's grass.py HTML browser setup code is using wrong
approach on Linux and Windows.

If GRASS_HTML_BROWSER is unset:
On Linux it should at first check for presence of xdg-open command
from Portland project [1] and only in case of Portland absence start
"Guess the browser" game. xdg-open will use user's preffered browser;
Similar on Windows, it should use "explorer" as default. No guessing
required. [2]

Maris.

As my Python skeeelZ are not 1337 yet, let's hope I have not messed up
anything with r42537
