Kross already has a QtScript backend, so there is no need to port its KJS 
backend at all :)

This only really leaves KTranscript in kdelibs as something that would need 
porting to QtScript I think, and from the Kontact Mobile POV I'd obviously 
welcome that. We have stripped out KJS/KHTML dependencies to reduce disk and 
memory usage for that already, the KMail message viewer is based on QtWebKit, 
the Kross parts have been changed to use the QtScript backend (which in most 
cases just meant renaming the files from .js to .es), and we have splitted up 
the packages in such a way that we don't install things depending KJS/KHTML 
by default (khelpcenter for example, which doesn't really work on mobile 
screens anyway, but right now also KTranscript).
