Things evolve over time. kwebkitpart works much better than it used to, and on
the other hand, khtml isn't catching up much with today's web. Do you really
want to have a full khtml vs kwebkitpart debate here, or can we just go on
with "treating both equally, shipping both and letting users choose"?

Hehe. So all we need to do is ensure kwebkitpart has a KDE/4.8 branch and then
add it to modules.git, right? Well at this point it might be a bit late for
adding to 4.8.4 all of sudden, so maybe we want to do this for 4.9 -- but then
it means someone needs to remember to add it to modules.git at the exact right
moment (after the last 4.8.x release and before the first 4.9.0 alpha)?
