I remember asking for dillo to be removed due to the above, I'm glad
someone has had time to fix the issues. Is dillo v3.0 using GTK 3 or
GTK 2 with no deprecated code or just FLTK1.3? (I'm assuming dillo3 for
Debian would change the default build to not statically link FLTK.)

How does the (unreleased) version compare with Arora (my current
candidate for "small but usable web browser") and how soon is it
likely to be ready for release?
