Isn't the eventual goal of WebCore to de-QTfy them? QT is a show stopper due to licensing
WebCore is a set of Qt stubs as far as I know, which map Qt onto the MacOS APIs. It's like Wine, but for Qt.
I haven't followed this lately, but I thought WebCode will eventually get rid of QT, and that work will find it's way into the mainline, no?
I seriously doubt that. You know the KDE guys as well as I do - they love Qt, and insist on using it for everything. Having Qt removed from the mainline KHTML/KJS will probably never happen, so building stubs is a rather lame, but unfortunately required prerequisite to using it.
