the javascript DataEngine and Runner APIs are not documented. unless someone 
else get to it, they won't be before 4.5 is out. which is ok, since those 
Javascript APIs have known (at least to me ;) deficiencies in 4.4. those are 
really more 4.5 targets.

but i can quite easily provide templates for both, and really should be adding 
such things to kdeexamples anyways.

theme support would be fairly easy to add, as far as packaging goes, but it 
will still require an external tool such as Inkscape for the forseeable 
future. so it will never be "perfect" for theming, it really would be just 
more of a packaging and previewing tool. i wonder if a purpose-built tool just 
for making theme packages wouldn't be better. what do you think of dropping 
themes from the target use cases?
