;;; Commentary:

;; This file provides the generic handling of the drop part only.
;; Different DND backends (X11, W32, etc.) that handle the platform
;; specific DND parts call the functions here to do final delivery of

The list contains of (REGEXP . FUNCTION) pairs.
The functions shall take two arguments, URL, which is the URL dropped and
ACTION which is the action to be performed for the drop (move, copy, link,
private or ask).
If no match is found here, and the value of `browse-url-browser-function'

If no match is found, the URL is inserted as text by calling `dnd-insert-text'.
