Why is embedding libbtcore in KGet not an option? This is the suggested way by 
the KGet developers (that's why we have made an svn external: libbtcore will 
be included in the KDE release tarballs.)
We cannot guarantee binary compatibilty with libbtcore at any time. If you 
take that version that is "embedded" with the svn external into KGet, it 
should work. (as Lukas already said: at the moment KTorrent trunk; when 3.1 
has been branched the 3.1 branch (this is at least planned for KDE 4.1).
