That would be ideal indeed, but I'm not sure how easy it is to do. The
qt5jsbackend can indeed use an external V8, but it must be an external
V8 *source* tree, not installed V8 libraries/headers in $(STAGING_DIR).
So it's not as easy as "internal png" vs. "external png" for example.

What I would propose is to get Qt5 and NodeJS merged separately, and
then, if we find some time to work on getting the V8 stuff common, then
we'll do it.
