Looks like I missed
Chromium...http://socghop.appspot.com/org/show/google/gsoc2009/chromium
which touches on WebKit right?
http://docs.google.com/Edit?id=dhk32tn7_0g7kcr2cg
And SDL1.3 might also be of interest, I think there's been many
changes from 1.2 to 1.3 so the BeOS code will probably need to be
brought up to date, and looking at SDL's idea page they list "porting
to new platforms". http://www.libsdl.org/gsoc-ideas.php
