Something like this?

"NEW-WINDOW-FLAG is the prefix arg; if `browse-url-new-window-flag' is 
non-nil, invert the prefix arg instead."

That's the conceptual idea behind 'browse-url-new-window-flag' anyway, 
and the defcustom is specified to be only a boolean, so the above should 
hopefully be enough.
