* Source/NSWorkspace.m (-_openUnknown:): New method that starts an

operation system specific application for files or URL that
could
        not be handled by GNUstep applications. Based on patch by Julian
        Mayer <julian@corecode.at>.
        * Source/NSWorkspace.m
        * (-openFile:withApplication:andDeactivate:,
        -openTempFile:, -openURL:): Use this new method.
        * Documentation/GuiUser/DefaultsSummary.gsdoc: Document the new
        setting GSUnknownFileTool that allows to define a default
application.
