Ah good I didn't check it was dead.
I think I had the same problem last time :)
Maybe it's not worth to implement such a complicated thing like a browser in elisp,
there are way too many things to take care of.

Anyway w3m from this page http://emacs-w3m.namazu.org/index-en.html
doesn't really look in a good shape either, last release in 2005...

I don't really need much, I just wanted to see simple html+css pages in emacs...
