You're misinterpretting. microb-engine is essentially a library, and libgtkembedmoz or libgtkmozembed whichever is also a library.

As long as you have the tablet-browser-ui (which anyone running os2008 has), you can simply package your replacement libraries and drop them in place.

The note is more for people who think that they can use microb-engine standalone on an empty scratchbox that doesn't include the Nokia portions, e.g., an intel scratchbox (which as I recall does not include the Nokia ui).

As it happens, microb-eal is an even smaller library, so as long as you have enough prerequisites, you should be able to skip building microb-engine.
