Well, I've been wondering about gecko for 2.4.  I still can't build
webkitgtk/win32 properly, and there is a bug which prevents images on an
invoice with file:// uri type from showing up.  There are only 3-4
support files needed for a new renderer, and I have some time on my
hands.

Do you know if gecko (gtkmozembed) has what you need on mac?
