I would love to be an alpha victim for wxWebKit.  I'm developing on 
Windows XP.  I'm also willing to do a little self interest motivated 
C++/Python debugging if I run into anything.  I can't be very generous 
with my time beyond that right now due to schedule constraints, but 
perhaps later in the year I will be able to contribute more.

Right now, what I'm looking for is a wx.HtmlWindow replacement that 
supports a larger subset of HTML, such as background images, and 
hopefully style sheets, but only on my own generated HTML code.  Later 
on I will need to browse real web pages.
