Your QmlWeb fork

Hello Michael,

I just took notice of your GitHub fork of QmlWeb, which contains a lot of very 
valuable code.

As the current maintainer of QmlWeb, I'd very much like us to collaborate. 
Looking through the commits there's a lots of stuff, I'd like just to take 
over as they are (almost everything). :)

Still, there're some open questions to me:
1. what's the state of your import support? It seems to support Modules and JS 
Files.
1.1 How are the modules stored on server side?
1.2 Does it support modules that contain QML files?
1.3 Can you access QML objects from the imported js files and/or javascript 
variables/functions from QML code? If so, how is it implemented?

2. You did some "precompilation of QML code". How is that done exactly, 
technically?

3. You have some commits for Keys support. Is that code in any way based on 
the stuff I did for Key-support (on a separate branch)? How complete is it? 
Does it use attached properties or does it just add a Keys-property to every 
Item?

4. You implemented an onCompleted handler for Item. Why? After all QML doesn't 
have this handler, but it has a handler Component.onCompleted, which is 
supported for a long time now.

5. You added support for jasmine based unit testing. I recently started 
implementing unit tests using qunit (still locally). Is there any noteworthy 
advantages jasmine has over qunit, that made you choose it?

6. What's the exact build process with gulp? In fact I was already looking for 
a good build tool for javascript and never found one (dunno, why I missed 
gulp, it seems to be exactly what I was looking for), so I'm very happy about 
you work on that! =) (Although that means quite a bit of merging work, given 
that our repositories diverged)

Finally: Are you interested in joining forces and becoming member of the 
"official" QmlWeb team?

Thanks,
Anton
