  I don't know of one, but it is easy enough to just launch an external
browser.  The code in our app to deal with 4 different unix browsers (KFM,
Netscape, Grail, and Emacs/W3) and the windows stuff is only ~200 lines of
code.

You dont have to distribute KDE libs to use khtmlw. Just take what you need
and modify it as you please.

KDE libs and khtmlw are LGPL. So you are allowed to take khtmlw and the
needed sources of kdelibs. It should not be too difficult to make
khtmlw run without KDE libs installed.
