This sounds good. In the mean time I'll propably do what I was going to do in 
the first place (Convert the dataengine to accept script name as a source). 
It will give me some kind of script support before it's done properly (or if 
it's done at all). Is playground (as the name says?) a place for this kind 
playing or is it only for projects that are meant to be moved to extragear, 
kdebase, ...?
