Hi! To be honest - I'm for complete removal of this "about". Or at least of much more havy  refactoring

Also to be honest(2) this is so deeply needed that it deserves an line in 
http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web#IcedTea-Web_1.5 table.

It should work at least somehow in headless mode, and should be generated from already existing 
resources (eg authors, news...)

So in short - get rid of "extras" jar (and it logic in makefile) and write specialised about 
dialogue inisde netx itself:) Feel free to be inspired by existing one, but avoid duplicated resources.

if you want to bother with it (+1!) then please assign yourself on 
http://icedtea.classpath.org/wiki/IcedTea-Web#IcedTea-Web_1.5, and go on!



Best regards from CZ!
   J.
