I did have a version which embeded mozilla at one point, infact it was
planned to do this 4 years ago.

The main reason why it isn't there at the moment is the licensing
issue.  I have not seen anything which indicates that the embedable
version of Gecko can be licensed under the LGPL.

As we use Sitecopy and so pull in some of the FSF code which it uses,
adding an exception to be able to link with MPL etc. isn't really
possible.

We have the link view, which shows how the current page links to others,
to a user definable depth, but it needs lots of work.  Double clicking
on an item in the link view will open that page.
