Ok all,

I have removed seamonkey from the list, and just converted things to use 
the browser that are too complicated to make sure they just work at this 
point.

I pop open a window that informs the user a web browser is being opened, 
and then once they close that dialog the main firstrun screen opens.

I think this is simple enough for people to do, and still allows the 
users easy access to install the most common ones, and includes the easy 
ones for me to do.

I made the code WAY more modular, and brought most things into single 
functions.

This will make maintaining things easier still in the future, and make 
it cleaner.  I may end up removing seamonkey altogether from the program 
there is no menu entry now, and the function just returns.

This will be revision 386, once it builds, please let me know what you 
think.
