Since Troels mentioned this...

Delirium (on PLaneT) will be a browser remote for you if that's the  
direction you want to go.

Delirium is oriented towards web UI testing (it's a reimplementation  
of Selenium using continuations) but you don't necessarily need to use  
it for that purpose - you only need to rewrite serve/delirium to take  
a procedure instead of a Schemeunit test-suite to use it for general  
browser control.

Let me know if you're interested and I'll knock up a demo.
