The idea is to associate HTML file with the best browser available at the
compile time.  The check is incorrect.  mc needs a wrapper script for
choosing the best browser at the run time.  It shouldn't be hard to write.

Red Hat's htmlview can be a good starting point, but it doesn't check if
KDE is running and it doesn't convert filenames to the "file:" URLs for
the browsers that need it.
