a01704fd3e minibar: make the feedback form work in the generic minibar
It is still disabled by default, since some manual configuraiton of
feedback.cgi is required.

65b717c362 minibar.html: omit explicit grammars_url option
The grammars will then by default be fetched from the same server as
minibar.html. This means that everything will be served locally when accessing
minibar through a locally running pgf-http.

18e3687832 minibar: rewrite minibar.js in a more idiomatic JS OOP style
This provides easier access to minibar internals for people who want to extend
it, but probably also reveals too much of the internal machinery...

5fc0e059c5 minibar: restructured code and improved user interface
* Keyboard input and completion should now work much more smoothly:
  + When you press space, the current word will be completed (if incomplete)
    and a new magnet will be created. If there is more than one possible
    completion, no magnet is created, but the common prefix of the possible
    completions is added to the text box.
  + Instead of asking the server for possible completions every time a new
    letter is added to the curent word, minibar only ask for completions for
    whole words and then filters the list locally when more letters are entered,
    speeding things up when server responses are slow.

* Code restructuring:
  + The PGF server API has been moved to its own file: pgf_online.js. This
    allows it to be reused in other applicaitons without importing the entire
    minibar. It also allows minibar to be used with different server interfaces.
  + The minibar code has been rewritten to avoid storing state information
    in the document tree and accessing it by referring to named document
    elements. The code now also avoids using string literals contaning
    the names of top-level functions to specify event handlers for buttons
    and menus. (The code is no longer introspective, so alpha conversion will
    not change its meaning.)

72fe93a8c4 minibar.html: specify charset, move initialization
Added a meta tag to specify that the file is in UTF-8. This makes the browser
(at least Firefox) assume that the JavaScript files are also in UTF-8, it seems.

Moved the call to start_minibar() from the <body onload="..."> to the end of
the file. The onload action is not executed until all images in the document
has been loaded, while javascipt at the end of the file is executed as soon
as the HTML file has been loaded. (Calling start_minibar() from the head of
the document would be too soon, since it refers to elements in the body,
which hasn't been loaded yet.)
