Well, IMVHO it doesn't really make sense to have sophisticated tests or so. 
Right now "normal" developers using KDE CVS HEAD don't have any problems. I 
don't expect a lot of wv2 CVS users, so the current solution should be good 
enough.

I'd like to avoid bumping the wv2 version number between releases because the 
API isn't stable. I'd have to bump version + library version with every 
incompatible change.

The one thing I'll try to maintain is to have the filter compile against the 
latest release without changes and to provide some flag like the one in 
Makefile.am mentioned above for the wv2 CVS version.

If you have convincing arguments why the current approach sucks I'd of course 
change my mind :-))

Ciao,
Werner
