I think he was talking about porting not the browser, but the rendering
engine, in a custom (very limited, but intentionally so, as seemingly some
people want that out of an "internet appliance") user interface which
would be written directly on top of Nano-X itself, without any specific
general purpose widget set. For porting the entire browser, hopefully it
shouldn't be too hard to port either the GTK+ or Win32 version once we
have a GTK+ port, and if Greg's Win32 is close enough to the real Win32.
So then it'd be up to you whether you want a configurable GTK+ based UI
(which can be configured to look like Win32 if you really want), or just
the Win32 UI (which will probably have lower memory requirements than
GTK+).
