Ah, ok. My assumption was always in-process, something like instantiating a 
"script console" class and passing in the QScriptEngine to operate on.

My context is that I have been experiementing with QtScript and Akonadi APIs 
but non-interactive is only good for "extension downloads", not for actual 
user scripting.
The latter needs some way for user to discover capabilities and experiement.

Cheers,
Kevin
