Nope. QtScript might be 'done' - meaning no one is working on it and there's 
no replacement. The v8 stuff is not public API like QtScript is, so it is 
not a replacement.

Yes. That's how QtDeclarative works. As it's internal, non-public API, that 
doesn't really matter much.

Maybe a public API will be created to replace QtScript eventually though...
