I'm not familiar with that issue but I glanced at the web in
which someone wrote that rfc3986 obsoleted rfc2936 and file:///c:
is the only right thing now.  But I verified Vista still allows
file://c:/ as well.  I can imagine Windows people use both types
and that emacs-w3m does not support it causes inconvenience.  So,
I've installed your patch with a slight modification.

Could you let me know your full name?  It needs to be in the
ChangeLog entry.

Thanks.
