 same uritools dep as old version.

 this time I split apart the handling of the requesting
 and the handling of the response.

 gemini-get will just send the network request to the right place
 and output the whole thing (header included) to stdout.

 gemini-message-handler reads a "message/gemini" from stdin
 and then attempts to launch a stream-handler if it can for the mime-type
 if it fails, it caches the response into a file and uses uristart
 to launch a program to handle the file:///?mime-type= URI

 ----- old stuff below. some of it still useful. -----

 gemini is some protocol that lies between gopher and http.
 and also a file format that's somewhere between text/plain and markdown

 https://gemini.circumlunar.space/ read more about it here.

 Requires uritools for uricut and html_entities_decode.

 git://thebackupbox.net/uritools
 git://thebackupbox.net/html_entities_decode

 But html_entities_decode isn't important.

 uristart is used by the "gemini" script to launch a file:// URI of the cached file.
 uristart expects a file in ~/.config/uristart.conf
 The included lines for gemini schemed URIs and file schemed URIs will need a mimetype.conf
 file in ~/.config

 You can grep for it and replace it with whatever you think looks good.

 Also uses dmenu and ncat --ssl.

 You should be able to grep for and replace those with whatever you like to use.

 If you swap ncat --ssl for openssl s_client, be sure to use -quiet or -ign_eof (which -quiet implies)
