Have you thought about other possible implementations? - Create a thin activex control that would load chrome.dll and use it in-process so you could use it mostly unmodified. (You'd need to integrate some modifications first)
- Forget about the browser component and reimplement RenderProcessHost, RenderViewHost, RenderWidgetHost, etc. Actually, you don't need this for embedding. You probably just need to split browser.lib in two and just keep the relevant hosting part. Do you think you would gain much by making it out of process?
