I would have thought that the extracting of the parts you needed ( i.e. the 
"view" ) would have been doable from a OO design standpoint.. but ... you 
know the code certainly...

Thats why I felt brave enough to suggest it anyhow.

And in any situation, Qt would be a bad solution and something like XUL or 
somesuch might be better. I was hoping ( from what little of the source code 
I've been able to glance over ) that the basic structure of the RG file 
format and perhaps even some of the rendering techniques could be adapted to 
work...

Again, I'm not very good at anything, but I DO know the Mozilla plugin 
structure does work. And Konqueror uses the nsplugin method to suck Mozilla 
plugins ( ala flash ).

So, even getting a plugin that works on, say Mozilla Firebird, would be 
wonderful, imho.  Firebird is such a better browser anyhow. :-)
