Hi

I have no time for it, but if you find someone who has, you can pay him.

I am removing javascript right now --- I left the hooks there (file 
jsint.c), so you can just take spidermonkey or whatever javascript 
interpreter, call it from jsint_execute_code and do callbacks to jsint.c 
file --- this will just get form editing, url redirection, image 
replacement and similar Netscape 3 stuff working. Doing DOM is hard to 
impossible.
