There was a FLTK port of KHTML v1 some five years ago:
	http://www.microwindows.org/ViewMLDesign.html

It supports HTML 3.2.  If that's too old, then WebKit might be better
alternative at least from memory usage point of view, maybe also with Fltk:

Wikipedia has very comprehensive www-browser comparison:
