I'd suggest to put big fat warnings like "BC not guaranteed in the future",
and of course make sure the header files are not getting installed.
This is also what we do for libkotext, which will change a lot in the future.

Then you can actually prepare a much better architecture for kospell,
as you plan to, that would be excellent.
