It hides inside the NetSurf !RunImage. It has its own resolver, but
not its own resolbver module. Important difference.

There is a certain tendency in RISC OS world to have modules
for everything. Often without good reason. There are certainly
advantages of having system-wide functionality, but only if
it is available across the board and always kept up to date.

This is the reason why NetSurf does its own thing for SLL/TLS
and resolving (and Unicode support and...and...).

Have fun
