I have created a new webview qml element from scratch but on one of my many (failed) attempts to find out why my application crashes on harmattan I also tried copying the qdeclarativewebview.cpp and qdeclarativewebview_p.h from the Qt sources and making a few modifications.
It was surprisingly uneventful and it worked just fine (I just registered on my c++ code the type and could swap between "implementations" by just changing the import statement on my qml). Most likely you will have to modify the "private" parts of the implementation so you won't be able to "just" extend the class and with future qt releases you will have to manually merge your changes.
