How do you suggest to solve the following:

- a widget class thats not exported because its in kdelibs/kate and its
  not ready to be exposed (as in kate devs and our developer that works
  on it are not ready to guarantee BC. But the same widget is needed 
  for a plugin in kdevplatform.
- a code-generator provides a memory pool for the AST nodes, but
  kdevelop doesn't want to force everybody to compile that
  playground-generator. So it includes pre-generated code, but still
  needs the headers for the memory pool. Copying the headers would
  mean real code-duplication, so its an external. OTOH the generator
  should not depend on kdevelop.
