The source tarball is available :)
As mentioned in my original mail, it is
http://kwebtest.googlecode.com/files/kwebtest-0.2.tar.gz
The instructions for building it is contained in the tartball itself (
Compile-Howto.txt)

I have built the binary on SXDE 1/08.
It is built on top of Moinak's KDE 3.5.8; his packages are the build time
and run time dependencies.

I dont know how to make a .pkg out of my application's sources ( and i
havent gotten around writing a .spec file for it)

KWebTest v0.2 is the second (and last) version of KWebTest using KDE3/Qt3.3

My immediate task is porting it to KDE4/qt4.4 ( qt4.4 is in beta atm, it
also happens to be what is called "qt-copy" ; the version of qt KDE is built
against)

qt4.4 includes WebKit http://trolltech.com/products/qt/whatsnew/qt44-preview
With Qt 4.4. has WebKit built in, so I would be able to use those API's and
make WebKit my underlying browser. That'd be cool

Dont expect the KDE4 version of KWebTest anytime soon on OpenSolaris as 1)
Qt is a moving target now 2) KDE/Solaris is moving target as well

It would be making it's debut on Linux in a fortnight's time :)

Only browser based testing

Yes. It can read/write test cases

It can do pass/fail against assertions.
Scripting: current version: no, Next version Yes.
