[rfc][icedtea-web] bringing applets out of browser (part2)

[helpcrypto helpcrypto]

May I know what is all this about?

Remeber we are using an Applet, which uses JSObject to send/receive info
from WebPage
We know Chrome will dump NPAPI next april/september, but -imho- no changes
are needed for firefox/safari.


Regards.
