Can we embed these widgets into our mainwindow? For example the log window
would need to be inside a toolview, not a standalone window.

Quite frankly, I have no idea wether this will work out or not. It
basically boils down to: How much control do we have over those
windows/wigets? Can we for example pre-select the file that should be
committed in the commit-window? Can we limit the revisions to be shown in
a log window? Does this really work with Kross (I have no idea wether PyQt4
code works with C++ code via kross...)? Last but not least: Is this
available in distro's? How many dependencies do we get with this?

If you can play around with the code and answer the above questions, then
we can make a decision wether to go down that road completely or not :)
