The coffee room consensus this morning was that letting exec (i.e. the 
kernel) handle it is exactly what one would want if one were to use 
qml+js as a scripting language (or for writing small standalone 
applications for that matter). It is much better if an executable is an 
executable is an executable. Helps to avoid contraptions like the 
attached helloworld ;-)

Btw, at least the qml viewer in the tech preview refuses to open files 
that do not end in .qml, which seems somewhat overly cautious.

This is now drifting somewhat off topic, so I guess I better stop here.
