interesting. perhaps it might be worthwhile subscribing to the list and raising that, because they do plan to turn netsurf into a library. if however that library is GPLv2 it has a bit of an impact. if... on the other hand, they used something like COM, it wouldn't make any difference, because COM has a runtime and even a networking barrier between applications. l.
