Here is my two cents worth.
We have attempted to use the netlib/necko engine outside of the browser
realm, however, you'll find, as we did, that necko depends so much on a
majority of the mozilla source, that bloat is too expensive if you are not
building a complete mozilla app. Especially if you are primarilly looking
at the windows environment, you can use the wininet libary at less of an
expense than necko. Necko is a good library, however, you should use the
right tools available to you for the right job.
The documentation for the necko engine is certainly lacking. The learning
curve is pretty high if you are attempting to build a non-browser product.
