Right now gtkmozembed itself is in the middle of a code rewrite - it's
highly unstable, untested, and does X11 specific things that break on
windows - so I haven't bothered with the effort of getting it to
compile, since in the end it would be broken anyway.  I'll come back to
it when the current branch of the new api on the mozilla end is merged
into the mozilla trunk.

Here's some information on the subject if you're interested.

For now gtkhtml is a much better solution if you need html in a php-gtk2
app.

Thanks,
