is it possible to include() other JS scripts from a QML Plasmoid package? 
because that's really what i'm most concerned about -> being able to use the 
JS API we have now to drive the QML.

as for the engine not beign exposed, well .. i'm not surprised.

i have lost faith in the idea that QML development is in the hands of people 
who are competent enough with design for it to ever be an unqualified success. 
it will likely remain a land of promises half achieved and possibilities only 
half realized. i expect it to be forked / re-written (using the same language) 
at some point in the future with a reasonable API for developers using it. 
it's QtMultimedia all over again: the same unwaranted bravado, the same 
potential in the design ideas if not the implementation, the same evident 
flaws that the developers are closing their ears to and therefore almost 
certain to have the same kind of result due to that.
