  Not a threat, a question! If really the existing API had been broken to
the point of being unusable in practice, I was ready to start checking what
where the deployed software already relying on it, to see if the dependancy
could be removed until the API get fixed. And this wasn't a fun process 
I tell you ...

  Sorry but that was a serious problem. I have to provide compatibility
at that point and if suddenly the KDE-2.2.2 binaries don't work any more
because the shared library for libxsltdebug they are linked against changed
its API, I will be the one who whill have to handle this :-\

  Excellent, so it is possible to implement the required functionalities
on top of the existing API.
