ExtInfoWindow Port to API v3?

[GoogleCodeExporter]

This is more of a request.  No one is answering my questions elsewhere, and the 
google group is closed, so I will ask here.  Are there any plans to port 
ExtInfoWindow to Google Maps API v3?

Ok, seems to be working pretty well now, although a few hacks were needed to 
take care of things missing from v3 of the API.

If the infowindow contains a link, the href is not followed in Chrome, Safari 
and Opera. It seems that the click event is stolen.
Not sure why it was made that way, but I removed it.
l. 239 : var stealEvents = ['mousedown', 'dblclick', 'DOMMouseScroll', 
'onmousewheel', 'drag'];

+ no control is done on the google variable before use.

I see the issue with stealing the click event. however, if I don't do that, and 
it is, for example, a mailto link, then the click goes right through to the map 
after the link is activated and my email client opens a new email message.

when it goes through to the map, the infowindow is closed.

How can this be solved?

This code no longer seems to be working.  It did in the previous code:

/**
 * Private function to steal mouse click events to prevent it from returning to the map.
 * Without this links in the ExtInfoWindow would not work, and you could click to zoom or drag 
 * the map behind it.
 * @private
 * @param {MouseEvent} e The mouse event caught by this function
 */
ExtInfoWindow.prototype.onClick_ = function(e) {

  if( (navigator.userAgent.toLowerCase().indexOf('msie') != -1  && document.all) || 
                        navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Opera') > -1)  {
    window.event.cancelBubble = true;
    window.event.returnValue = false;
  } else {
    //e.preventDefault();
    e.stopPropagation();
  }
};

changed the way event handling works so that mouse scroll wheel on InfoWindow 
won't zoom.  newest version here:
