Ah this is a right mess. I actually installed microb with apt-get. 
apt-get install microb-engine and microb-engine-dev. But i did this 
before i'd added the chinook repositories to the sources.list. I've 
updated the two packages (which automatically did the dependencies). 
After this i did a fresh checkout of libidl and libgtkembedmoz. Ran 
through compiling and installing libidl as per bug page which went fine. 
Started compiling libgtkembedmoz which now runs further but comes up 
with compile errors:

../../src/EmbedDownloadMgr.cpp:775: error: `nsIXPIProgressDialog' has 
not been declared
../../src/EmbedDownloadMgr.cpp:775: error: `DOWNLOAD_START' undeclared 
(first use this function)
../../src/EmbedDownloadMgr.cpp:775: error: (Each undeclared identifier 
is reported only once for each function it appears in.)
../../src/EmbedDownloadMgr.cpp:777: error: `nsIXPIProgressDialog' has 
not been declared
.

There are more but they are all along the same lines and i thought i'd 
spare you. I'm sure i'm doing something stupid or not in the right 
order, but i have to say i'm getting confused!
