For displaying HTML that would be great, but at what cost? How much
bigger is LHelp going to get (executable size) if you add a complete
Gecko engine into the executable. :-(

Or does it use an existing Gecko install on your system and simply
display output inside your application?  That would still mean you need
to have something like Firefox install before you application will work.
 That wouldn't be much of a problem under Linux, but will be under OS X,
Windows etc..
