Actually I found Safari 3's CSS rendering has a number of improvements over
2, but 2 is still the standard AFAIK.  I use BrowserCam to test so it's not
a dire need, but it would be nice to just have a virtualized instance
locally available.  What tools are available to do this?  Googling just me
gives scads of results about virtualizing Windows on Mac (e.g. Parallels,
VMWare).
