I have found out, that K-Meleon 1.6 runs also 
with the files of Xulrunner 1.9.1.20pre.
Debian Squeeze is the stable branch of one of the 
main Linux distributions, and it has a very conservative 
attitude concerning the applications that it uses in its 
rolling releases.
The browser of Debian is Iceweasel, which is actually
Firefox with a different name. The heart of Iceweasel
in Debian Squeeze is Xulrunner 1.9.1.x .
This is updated usually with backports as soon as 
securitry flaws appear in Firefox.
There is now a Xulrunner 1.9.1.20pre for Linux, but also
for Windows in the Mozilla nightlies.
I presume, that Xulrunner 1.9.1 will soon be updated to
Gecko 1.9.1.20 for Linux, and hopefully also for Windows.
As Debian Squeeze will probably not change from Gecko 1.9.1.x
to a higher Gecko version, I hope that updates for
Xulrunner 1.9.1 will continue for a while.
Debian releases new stable versions usually every
2 years. Debian Lenny 5.0 came out in 2009, 
Debian Squeeze 6.0 came out in 2011, so the next
stable Debian 7.0 would appear in 2013.
This gives K-Meleon 1.6 a chance to survive for
a while as it is, provided that Xulrunner 1.9.1.x
would be also updated in a Windows version.
As Xulrunner 1.9.1 as well as k-meleon.exe from 1.7 
need the 80's runtimes, and the older kplugins need the 
70's runtimes, the 70's and 80's dlls would both have to
be present in a variation based on Xulrunner 1.9.1.x .
