I spoke too fast ;-) Just after writing it, I realized it is not necessary.
Actually I redesigned the code:
- removed PanelXMenu, and used PanelMenu as base class, additional infos (title
  and icon) are taken from the associated desktop file.
The only header to be installed now is "base_mnu.h" and your plugin needs to be
linked against kicker.la: this is not a big deal as only kicker will load the
plugins, so it's already in memory.
