Well, it seems the only worthy alternatives are Mozilla and KHTML, and
they are both written in C++. I am 100% with you on the non-duplicating
bit: even if we get something in the tree, it's not going to be maintained,
and it will bitrot to fast for words. It would be a huge addition and
burden to maintain for the Wine project.

Galeon does not include Mozilla -- it uses it. There's got to be a way to
use KHTML in a similar manner. Even my first hand approximation (using
the Win32 build of Mozilla) seems like a better option than duplicating
code. If we get that working, I'm sure we can work with the Mozilla team
to find a way of embedding the Linux version. Heck, Galeon does it!

But since I'm not doing that work ...
