I have taken the old browserd source code at http://vcs.maemo.org/svn/browser/client-server/trunk/server/ and come up with a set of code that is functionally identical to the N900 browserd.

http://www.cncmods.net/files/tablet-browser-daemon_0.6.3-3.1+0m5.zip contains the modified code, its made to be as close to the (closed source) Nokia version as possible. You will also need http://www.cncmods.net/files/microb-eal-dev_2.9.5-1.23+0m5_armel.deb (compiled from the Fremantle microb-eal package)

Also of value is http://www.cncmods.net/files/browser-neteal-dev-0.7.10.1-2+0m5.zip and http://www.cncmods.net/files/browser-neteal-dev_0.7.10.1-2+0m5_all.deb which lets you talk to the browserd daemon in the same way as the stock web browser. http://www.cncmods.net/files/eal-client.c is an example source file showing how to use it.

With this browserd source code, there is nothing (other than time/interest from people with the right skills) stopping someone (e.g. CSSU) porting a more recent Gecko version to Maemo5.

I am currently considering cloning the browser-neteal package (the UI packages like tablet-browser-view are too complicated to clone and the code in the old repos is useless for the purpose)

I am also considering cloning the tutorial/getting started applet so it can be used as an example of how to use browser-neteal and possibly also something that could be made into a "flash launcher" (i.e. pass it the URL or filename of a .swf file and it will show/play that flash file)
