it was C++ wrapper, would work for minimal stuff but i won't 
recommend using awesomium at all. for me it looks almost dead 
now(both forums and update rate), and pretty much the same can be 
achieved with webkit. awesomium just adds offscreen rendering and 
JS event handling, but it is commercial software so for most 
people here it would be unacceptable.
