  Good work!

  I've downloaded/compiled and tested a bit: even in spanish!
I like how it breaks paragraphs by squeezing some lines and moving
words around (even without hyphenation). The hyphenating part also
seems OK (I need to test more).

  This looks very promising and makes me look forward for the merge
day! So far, dillo has served me very well for reading articles (my
font/size, my colors), and now there's the extra of better line/word
breaking. This will surely also be welcomed by our users.  Very good.

  There're  glitches,  sure.  Just  in  case you don't yet have a
reliable  test  case,  lwn.net  has  problems with screen redraw.
