In case anyone's interested in a browser solution somewhere between
Links and Firefox, you might want to check out NetRider (and wkccc) on
Sourceforge.  wkccc is a version of webkit.  The developer put
together an API that can be used with FLTK, SDL or via command line.
NetRider is his FLTK-based browser that uses the API.  wkccc needs
make to build Google's skia library (back-end) and cmake to build
webkit.  So far, it's the easiest version of webkit I've found to
build from source.  Still a lot of dependencies compared to a text
browser or links, but for a browser with more modern features, this is
the lightest I've found.  If one uses the SDL API, one could get web
pages up using SDL and DirectFB outside of X.

Sincerely,
Laura
