Yeah, I heard something about a headless webkit a while back, but I
never tracked it down.
Also, a friend of mine is working on a console browser that uses firefox
as its backend. It hooks into firefox via mozrepl. Here's the brief
description of mozrepl:
<quote>
MozRepl lets you program Firefox and other Mozilla-based applications from the
inside using a telnet client.

You still have to run firefox itself, but for those of us who don't care
to spin up a GUI, you can run it under xvfb, which is a virtual X
server.
His program is ncurses-based, closer to something like lynx,
but I'm thinking we could use the same trick for edbrowse.
His work is here: http://bmcginty.hopto.org/clifox.git
