[sldev] [VWR] What about Dillo

That looks really cool Argent - thanks for the heads up - I'll take a look.

I'm doing some work right now on improving the media library and moving embedded browser support 
into LLMedia as part of the work for enabling Web content as well as QuickTime on a parcel basis.

It's still early days yet but the way the new library is organized makes it easy to add support for 
new media impls or replacements for existing ones.

I believe we need to retain support in the client for an embedded browser than can render all (most) 
of the content out there on the Web but making an media impl that renders more rudimentary pages 
using Dillo should be straightforward. Might be useful for the oft-requested simple text renderer 
perhaps?
