Hi Jon!

Thanks for review!

A package using this will BR it.  The headers are included like any other C++
header-files.

There's no rebuild neccessary.  AFAIK this is same way some boost-headers
(non-copyable.hpp, e.g.) are used.  These headers are mostly including headers
from other libs and the build binary will link against those.  So there should
be no trouble.

Like I've written above.
