I've actually done this in a sample "next-gen" re-write, and it might
not be that difficult to incorporate for this situation. Will I run
into problems in that the main html is being written with
webkit_web_view_load_string with a base_uri of file:// ?

Thanks for the idea. It seems it shouldn't be hard to get drive
letters working, but this does present a reasonable fallback.
