No, the new class is called QScriptDebuggerEngine :-) That's the thing
that sits in the same process as the script engine and talks to the
remote debugger (QScriptRemoteTargetDebugger).

Yes, it's possible to abstract the APIs further, if there's really a
need for that. Still, the APIs are already so similar that there isn't
much you need to change if you want to switch from local to remote
debugging or vice versa.

Yup. Presumably a plugin interface will materialize after doing, say,
the GDB and XDebug integration. It's mostly about exposing some internal
classes (QScriptDebugger{Backend,Frontend}).
