We are using kjs directly. We talked about it at akademy and jowenn and me 
were of the opinion to stick with kjs for now, and after all it really 
works pretty well now (and is much faster).
Scripting capabilities in the kate application should probably use qtscript, 
though (but that will not happen in near future anyway).
