Actually we have not done a proper evaluation of which header files should be 
part of the public API yet.  Some classes are exported and some not, though, 
so that gives you a hint.  On the other hand, some exported classes use some 
of the non-exported, so I suspect that for a proper handling we should split 
out some things into private _p.h header files and not install them.

Regarding the uninstalled header files in AbstractLayer etc, if you need them 
and they are not installed, it's a bug.  I'll fix that as soon as possible.

Sounds good indeed, but wouldn't Kross bindings be even better?  That way we 
would have a plethora of languages in one go.
