It's easy enough to create plugins for the major Parts like KHTMLPart and 
KonqDirPart.. but what about run-of-the-mill parts?

You see, to *effectively* use a Part, the plugin needs to

a) link to the part's library file
b) cast to the parent() to the part, thus must include the part's header file

This isn't a problem with KHTMLPart or KonqDirPart since both are part of 
major libraries (libkhtml and libkonq, resp.) and thus have their libraries 
and header files already installed.

By default for "normal" Parts, though, there is no installed header and 
moresoe, the library is installed in $KDEDIR/lib/kde2/ and not in $KDEDIR/lib 
(thus making linking difficult).

Has this already been thought of and I'm just missing the solution?  Or does 
something need to be done, here?
