Those 2 classes are not intended to be used by 3rd party applications
and to my knowledge, they are not used. The headers are only installed
to allow me to split KDEPrint between kdelibs and kdebase (and maybe
other locations). But those classes are only really used by KDEPrint.
So if you upgrade simultaneously kdelibs and kdebase, you shouldn't
get any problem. The only real "public" header is kprinter.h, which
I think is still BC.
Anyway, if this is a problem, I can revert the changes and remove the
added features.

Bye.
Michael.
