Has anyone played with SkipStone (http://www.muhri.net/skipstone/)?
It's a Gtk+ browser that uses the Mozilla rendering engine and is
supposed to be "light weight", if a bit bare-bonesish.  It _seems_
snappier than Mozilla on my 700MHz PIII laptop, but that's purely
subjective.

Anyways, it seems like it'll be painful to package.  To build it, it
needs 145 includes from Mozilla's ${WRKSRC}/dist/include and to run it
(as well as build it) it needs (at least - it might dynamically load
more than this):

	12 libs from       ${PREFIX}/lib/mozilla
	34 libs from       ${PREFIX}/lib/mozilla/components
	5  misc files from ${PREFIX}/lib/mozilla/components
	8  misc files from ${PREFIX}/lib/mozilla/chrome
	8  misc files from ${PREFIX}/lib/mozilla/defaults
	13 misc files from ${PREFIX}/lib/mozilla/res

Ideally, it's be nice to not depend on having _all_ of Mozilla installed
to use it, but I think the bigger problem is building it.  Do we really
want to have the Mozilla package install 1.5MB of header files?  Using
a separate package just for the headers seems extreme - on my laptop
it takes 15 minutes just to extract Mozilla, and I haven't checked out
how much of the build process is required to generate the files in
dist/include.  This would also be a BUILD_DEPENDS too.  Another package
for the libraries that are shared between Mozilla and SkipStone?  Where
does it all stop?

There's another Mozilla-based browser called Galleon (or similar) that
also compilicates things - I haven't looked at that one (it's a Gnone
thing I believe) or its requirements.
