The amarok team has an Importer class which has a function called "include"
which takes the API to be included
as a QString argument. The function then calls QScriptEngine object ->
importExtension (QString variable).

I feel that , as of now let us leave it as it is. I will focus on getting
the script manager.
Also exposing the whole Qt API by default is user friendly as the script
author doesn't need to know
which qt modules to import.
