ctrl-t at the login screen will evoke a simple floater which uses 
floater_text.xml


You still end up with the log-in window fetching the login splash page 
via html, but many are able to disable that by editing 
skins/xui/en-us/panel_login.xml and removing the URL to 
http://secondlife.com/app/login/.

This didn't work for me in my Mac build (hangs the viewer when the 
client is evoked in the xCode debugger), so the ultimate thing is to 
"#define LL_LIBXUL_ENABLED        0"  in llpreprocessor.h, which takes 
mozlib out of the compile. It also requires a rebuild of the entire 
client, so I'd try the other fix first.
