* @brief The base class for scripting interfaces to be used in loading
* plasmoids of a given language.
*
* All ScriptEngines should export as consistent an interface as possible
* so that the learning curve is limited. In particular, the following
* API should be made available in the script environment:
*
* TODO: define the actual scripting APIas ...
* PlasmaApplet - the applet of this plasmoid
* LoadUserInterface(String uiFile) - loads and returns a given UI file
* LoadImage - loads an image resource out of the plasmoid's package
* PlasmaSvg - creates and returns an Svg file
