You got me there! I think no one is packing it! I came across it because
QtCreator is using it now and also the Qt Design Studio, but at least
QtCreator has its own version. They have changed the namespaces a
little bit and the library is included in the source code.


Have you tried looking at what other KDE software like for example kate do

I am doing that now. I have checked the functionality in Kate, but not the
code.

Thanks for the answer!
