The problem with the magnet: protocol handler is that several application
can make use of it (torrent, emule, gnutella...), and as far as I know
registerProtocolHandler only allow a one-to-one mapping. Also, Chrome only
allow to register "safe" protocols (email, ftp, tel and so), requiring to
custom ones to be prefixed with "web+".

Maybe an option would be to develop a broker that inspect the parameters of
the magnet: link and redirect to the correct application?

Irrelevant, now that this module is a node.js command line app.
