Safari for Windows

I've been discussing the usage of multiple browsers for testing of CSS & JavaScript with several friends over the last several months. One of the issues has been trying to find a viable browser for Windows/Linux that will render web pages the same way that Safari on the Mac renders pages.
This used to be fairly simple... As long as you had access to a linux box that had KDE's Konqueror installed - Konqueror & Safari both used the KHTMLview rendering library. Then Apple decided to go it's own route & branched away from KHTMLview... so some things worked the same & others didn't. I'm not sure if anybody has a comprehensive list of the differences or if it's even worth it. Apple has named this new rendering library WebKit
