I think I will adopt this solution for now, I don't like it because it 
won't be easy to follow the changes from libkipiplugins, but it's the 
option that will break less stuff in the future...

We don't have a real plan about stabilization of the 
ktp-common-internals library yet, we have still a lot of things missing 
and we don't know yet what we will break implementing those things 
(first of all, meta-contacts support is likely to break almost everything)

What about libkipiplugins? Are you planning to consider it "stable" and 
install the headers one day?
