  Description     : Web Rendering Proxy

Upstream's description:

    "A browser-in-browser "proxy" server that allows to use historical /
    vintage web browsers on the modern web. It works by rendering a web
    page in to a GIF or PNG image with clickable imagemap."

One very cool usage for this is for security isolation.  You run the web
browser and this proxy in an isolated environment (e.g. a virtual
machine) and then connect to it with an ordinary web browser from your
regular workstation, possibly with another proxy in between that filters
anything other than the clickable image map out.

I don't know Go packaging so I'm filing as an RFP but if someone else
doesn't get to it perhaps I'll turn it into an ITP.
