I don't touch the engine code! I use Gecko's embedding API. The HTML
rendering
will never be compatible at all, but that's not important in most cases.
What
we need is a compatible API, and that can be done using Gecko as HTML
engine,
everything else we have to implement ourself (eg. my current implementation
uses Gecko to download document - that also needs to be changed).

Soon you'll see - I promise:) If you mean how much of code do we need to
port to Wine tree, the answer is that no code excepting creating our
headers.
Everything else is in a shared library that can be loaded at runtime. My
current implementation imports only 6 functions (and 3 of theme are
to manipulate strings!). Everything else can be done using interfaces.
