Hi all

Ive made a copy of the script named "help-dev". It uses 
1) a sourceforge instead of sf as requested.
2) a second optional parameter "urlencode" that defaults to false.

So if you want to have the script to urlencode the parameter "tag" just
write something like
http://vimplguin.sourceforge.net/help-dev?tag=<tab>&urlencode=1

I also would like to have that script on vimdoc.sf.net, I posted a
request to them, but there was no reaction. I also asked Bram where to
put it - no reaction either. So I simply put it somewhere I had access
to. If some of you wanted to hack it, you could join the
vimplugin-project on sf.net and I could give group-write permission on
the script. Python is very easy to learn.

If that script is ok as it is, I will copy it back to "help"

Sebastian.
