If I'm not mistaken, I think we still need all three installed headers.

One possible improvement would be to avoid the reliance on _PKGINT_H_
that is present in the user's public header file (e.g. ic.h).  A solution
that comes to mind is to edit that file twice.  Once, when configuring
the package to build (so that it includes the <import.h> variant) and
once when installing the package (so that it includes <export.h>).

We could possibly hide all this with autoconf macros also distributed
with the slim package.

Thoughts?

I think I like this best myself.
