Well, we allready talked on irc, but for reference

KateExternalTool is a object that allows for userdefined actions for invoking 
external applications with information from kate such as the current 
filename, selection etc.

It uses an KActionCollection so that the actions can easily be added to the 
shortcut and toolbar dialogs. It's cleared when the tool collection is 
reloaded, as the code shown in this thread shows.
