[OpenIndiana-discuss] zoom on openindiana

[Till Wegmüller]

An OpenSource Client we could think about supporting is libwebrtc for 
the brwoser versions. Our Firefox may be convinced to add that 
capability since it is present on the Linux build of Firefox.

- https://webrtc.org/

If somebody gets it built locally I am gladly moving it into our package.
