REQ Always open anchors in same window, despite target=_blank

[renini]

Great project! I just used this browser to create a kios mode.

What i have so far is xorg without window manager and just this browser.
But with popups on a system without a window manager is of course a bit of a mess...

Is it possible to open _blank or _new a hrefs just like if they were normal links?
So they open up in the same window.

Think i manage to do what i want with a simple return self in the createWindow function.

I will try to make a patch for it, there might be other use cases for it

I looked at your code; it's sound. If you wanted it merged in feel free to make a pull request. At some point I really need to clean up the interface and reduce the number of switches, but I'm not sure I want to go breaking everyone's configs. At least we still don't have as many switches as Chrome :-).

BTW I normally run mine with a window manager, usually matchbox window manager. It makes those occasional popups behave properly. Something to consider if this approach doesn't work out.

I used this method (return self in createWindow) for a long time now. But we found compatibility issues. Some popups are correctly opened in the same window and some not. I tried to figure out why this is not working for some popups but didn't find it.

If there will be a more reliable way to do this, it would be great.
