sounds great!

No, not with respect to katepart. It is loaded at runtime, as a KPart.
As I have learned on Windows, loading of parts is affected by path
settings, and also the QT_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable. Before
playing with that, though, I suggest to check:
- Can you get kwrite / kate to work?
- Can you locate katepart.so anywhere? Does the place look right?
