If you do that then you only have two choices:

1) static library
2) don't ever remove it

And in either case, you have to put the headers in the same place as kdeui 
(i.e., future compatibility) and you have to use a hidden namespace to 
avoid conflicting with the symbols when it does make its way to kdeui (à la 
Animations Solution).

Or you can make it a private library again like Animations Solutions. 
Anyone wishing to use it simply copies the code into their applications 
and uses it.
