We can't do clickable links in those message boxes, so I'm not sure
how useful it'll be in practice. The other question is; on which ones
would we want to include extra text? Certainly not all
errors/warnings, as some are things like "invalid installation
directory", which users would just accept, correct their typo or
whatever and try again. We wouldn't want to clutter up all message
boxes with URLs.
