qtwebkit / qtwebengine

Hi,

I've been running into some issues with QtWebEngine lately, including the *&@*&@# SOB it is to build, and couldn't help but wonder how KDevelop is going to address its dependency on QtWebKit.

In case no decision has been finalised yet I'd really like to suggest that maybe it'd feasible to serve KDevelop's HTML rendering needs with something leaner and meaner than QWE, possibly with optional support for the qwebenginepart that's being developed for Konqueror5?

FWIW, QWE 5.6.1 builds and works OK on all supported OS X versions, but 5.7.0 already breaks on OS X 10.9, and I'm seeing very regular SEGV_MAPERR crashes in the QWE helper process on Linux too.

R.
