	*	To implement KScript in your application you would use this class to interface with the scripting engine.
	*	There are currently a few implementations of script managers around but developers can implement their own custom
	*	interfaces with this class.

	*	Q_OBJECT
	*	public:
	*
	*	MyScript(TQObject *parent)
	*	{
	*		// Create your @ref KScriptInterface here.
	*		m_interface = KParts::ComponentFactory::createInstanceFromQuery<KScriptInterface>( 
	*			"KScriptRunner/KScriptRunner", "([X-KDE-Script-Runner] == 'bash/shell')", this );

	*	Things to note about this example are that it only handles a single script type and instance.  You may wish to
	*	extend this.
