You'll have to adapt it, but it should work. The "adaptation" layer is not 
very big, but the khtml library is statically linked to the executable, and 
I think you would be better off with a separate library. 

It works with Qt2 and Qt3 at the moment, and the Qt 4/KHTML 4 port has yet 
to start.

Check out the Unity/WebKit things, then as George suggested.
