you can run a plasma widget in a window by itself. one could even create a 
widget-specific window shell for a particular widget. at that point the code 
can quite literally be share between any other libplasma app and that shell.

still may not be what you want, so ....

something like diktv would probably make sense in extragear where it can do 
its own releases or in kdenetwork, but that would be up to the kdenetwork 
module maintainer to decide whether or not a stand-alone DICT application is 
something a default install of network tools should include.

either way, if you are wanting to maintain the application, there's a place 
for it in our svn somewhere :)
