I would second also a slowly move toward a public/private .h files model
so that we start keeping public APIs much more stable and think 3 times
before changing the public side of the headers. It also allows us to
stay honest and not try to abuse our knowledge of internal structures
that leads directly back to the ominous bigballofmud.so problem.

Simo.
