Patch for html (`W h') with Gnus 5.4.62 and W3 3.0.93.

[Per Abrahamsen]

This patch makes `W h' work for me with the latest versions of Gnus,
W3, and Widget.  I have never had it working before. 

I think it would be better to use `w3-region' directly in the
*Article* buffer, _and_ convert the *Article* buffer to use
`widget.el' for the buttons.  Since w3 is also based on `widget.el',
this should give you close to the full potential of w3 inside the
*Article* buffer.

It is a non-trivial piece of work, though.

I advise against this, because `widget' is still not fast enough to
handle article buffers efficiently (especially the larger ones).

I don't believe there are any performance problems with
`widget-convert-button', which is all Gnus would need.
