Still, QtScript is a very nice wrapper around JavaScriptCore. It's 
working fine in Qt5. This module is marked as "done", not as "don't dare 
to use it". :)

For now, we will keep using QtScript. We will switch the engine, if 
there are significant advantages. An ideal new JS engine would have to 
be lightweight and easy to bootstrap. Neither JavaScriptCore nor V8 fall 
into this category.

I will answer this seperately.
