"Pressing the help button will:
- on Win32 only: if available, open the Windows Help viewer with locally
installed user-guide.chm file - and if that fails ... - on all systems:
start a web browser and open the corresponding wireshark.org online page"

Clicking links in Windows HTML Help viewer is painful (and a little
unnerving) with script errors.

Is it time to sunset and have Windows help act like non-Windows platforms?
Or maybe add a step to the CHM build process that makes the links
non-clickable so the user would need to copy/paste into a browser?
