Chromium is more interesting on Windows because there's no native
Windows port of WebKit yet.  On Linux, the KDE and GTK developers have
already done a nice job making WebKit embeddable in a native way.

The bits they are lacking relative to Chromium are:
 - v8 -- but then the cross-architecture compatibility of squirrelfish
[non-extreme] is much more important on heterogeneous linux than on
Windows;
 - the multiprocess system -- but then our embedding layer (glue) is
below the multiprocess system;
 - and the various correctness work we've done throughout (e.g.
matching IE form control layout down to the pixel level, mime sniffing
logic, HTTP stack).

So if I were looking to improve webkit embedding on Linux, I'd
probably look at integrating that third bullet point into the existing
webkit ports
