I'm curious, what is the smallest size you guys have gotten the gecko browser fitted into?
Why does this matter to you?
I'm working on a project right now where I need(and I believe many others will need aswell) a programmatically controlled browser DLL for my windows software and I'm going to create a very very small Gecko browser without using activex's or external executables if I possibly can, and I'd like to challenge you guys also to this, so that we as C+ + programmers can support Mozilla& FireFox to get a nice smart fast browser to our use when we function in environments where do not have either the resources or the full capabilities to launch the real Mozilla Firefox or the users default browser.
The standard recommendation for this is to use a XULRunner build, which already has things like XRE_InitEmbedding which you can use to hook up browsing within an application.
I think this problem has already been mostly solved. See the winEmbed example in the tree.
Also, to address your first question, please see http://benjamin.smedbergs.us/blog/2005-07-29/the-testing-matrix/ for why we strongly discourage people from trying to make the "smallest possible" version of Mozilla, rather than using the standard tested version.
