almost anything is possible given the right patch ;)

let's see ... 

khtml uses dbus to communicate with the cookiejar, kwalletmanager and the 
passwd server. the cookiejar and passwd server use kded, kwalletmanager is 
simply an external app.

if none of these services are needed (e.g. you are just rendering local html) 
then it may make sense to have a mode where khtml doesn't use any of these 
services. i see only 3 files where dbus calls are made, and 3 where kwallet 
is used directly. 

there are also a few calls to KToolInvocation that would need to be patched, 
and a few instances of KRun::runUrl (which ends up calling KToolInvocation, 
which ends up making DBus calls) as well.

there's also the dbus interface it exports. this is done in 
KHTMLPart::init(KHTMLView*, GUIProfile). perhaps this could be controlled by 
adding a new element to the GUIProfile enum?

if you don't need password storage, secure form completion and cookies i 
agree. if you do, then this assessment may be quite incorrect. what's your 
exact use case?

IMHO, the best way to make kdelibs a serious development platform on win32 is 
for the people coding on win32 to work on making it a serious development 
platform for win32.

actually, this is a question for kfm-devel at kde.org where khtml development 
happens.
