looking at qstardict it seems to be a full application with plugins for 
stardict and web based dictionaries. writing an engine around it would, i 
imagine, involve linking in a number of the C++ files that go into the app 
directly into the DataEngine?

looking at it, it seems that really only the DictPlugin class would be needed, 
strictly speaking.

it's a little unfortunate in the sense that i doubt as many people will end up 
using it that way (some of the popular distros don't even have qstardict 
packages), though it would be cool to see plasma stuff outside of KDE's 
repositories as well.

so .. yeah .. it's your code, do as you will. pease don't remove the dict 
engine from kde's svn, however, as that would break functionality people are 
already using.

personally i really don't see why you couldn't just put a dependency on the 
qstardict plugin and pull it in that way. you don't need the rest of 
qstardict, just that one lib.

note that the web plugin for qstardict is pretty much useless to us as it uses 
QHttp and is blocking at that.
