  Aie... that's kind of hard :( Some other people, also interested in
mobile platforms (handhelds of various sorts), have previously asked
about separating current Dillo core from it's GUI, so that they could
use other libs besides GTK+. 

  Well, if you ever get around looking at the code, you'll see that
Dillo is tightly based on Glib, GDK and GTK+. All the widgets, lots of
structure, etc, etc. You see, Dillo wasn't made to run specifically on
such small platform, and I believe the creators of Gzilla (where Dillo
came from) wanted to use GLib plus GTK+ because of their portability
and lightness. The current Dillo developers are not, therefore, very
interested in this issue (I think). Hey, but the code _is_ there ;-)

  Here are some past threads on dillo-dev you might find useful to
read:
