That's NOT an option. 
But I think we don't have really to link against plasma.
This new kpart (obviously) has and we can show it as every other kpart.
It can grab infos from kio and from our history eg via dbus.

I also think the "hybrid" approach is better and it will be the "rekonq pages" implementation for 0.7.1 or 0.8.
But when Lionel asked me to add this project to gsoc, I thought he has all the rights to do so
and spend his own time to play with (and mentor) it.

It's the fun of opensource. Isn't it?
