Dirk Stöcker mentioned recently in a thread "Automatic tiles download
in WMSPlugin" that he had made a webkit backend to enable WMSPlugin
usage under win32 without FF2 - but not using FF3 either.  Webkit is
smaller and I don't think somebody will mind your automatic downloads
through it.  I'm happily using WMSPlugin with FF3 with the
gnome-web-photo backend.
