Hi,
this sounds really cool and I'm pretty sure you will find a lot of
support in this list if you have any questions ! Gecko for certain would
be a valuable addition to GNUstep.
Please go forward !

Note that there are good chances that a ObjC++ will be made be available
again. This would probably easen the integration a lot, but probably
isn't ready for some 1/2 or 1 year (maybe you should contact Stan
Shebs).

BTW: Those C libs would be in itself a nice project. Eg the same is done
with Qt, which has C wrappers which are wrapped in ObjC, AFAIK.

I think there is no better way right now.

Well, that's not really competition (it's like browser using the IE
control). But valuable nevertheless.
BTW: would that result in a XUL implementation based on AppKit ?
