Hi .... I was satisfied with cschtml, but I suspect it's not
maintained anymore. It's a gtkhtml without gnome basically. Grab it
at:

http://www.cscmail.net/cschtml/

I pangoized that but the code needs some adds before being released
(it needs some more cosmetic touches). I can send it to you, perhaps
you can have a look and comment before I put it on the web. 

Beware that there is not much documentation in cschtml, but just read
the .h and follow the perl example.

I was pointed to gtkhtml2 that needs only libxml2. It looks very cool
(it has CSS and DOM) but fails on fairly trivial HTML tests (like the
one in cschtml). I hope this will be corrected soon and to have time
to dig into the code (perhpas it's just a mistake on my side ... give it
a try). 

Did you consider an embedded mozilla? Does memory/cpu footprint matter
to you?

Bye!
