Now I think the attached patch is more inline with the philosophy of
browse-url than the previous patches of this thread.

However, this patch might not be necessary.  You can open a file with
C-x C-j W or in the secondary browser with C-x C-j C-u W.  This seems
cumbersome, but C-x C-j (dired-jump) quickly becomes second nature.  And
to open the directory of file: C-x C-j C-x C-j C-u W, which once again
seems frightening, but can be entered quickly without thinking.
