Qutepart and Katepart

Kate and Katepart (an editor component) is really cool software. The Kate authors and community have created, probably, the biggest set of highlighters and indenters for programming languages.

• Qutepart uses Kate syntax highlighters (XML files)
• Qutepart contains a port from Javascript to C++ of Kate indenters
• Qutepart doesn't contain Katepart code.

Nothing is wrong with Katepart. Qutepart has been created to enable reusing highlighters and indenters in projects where a KDE dependency is not acceptable.

I don't mind if you use the code under WTFPL license. But consult you layers if I have right to release it this way.
