 upon updating cvs is see that this problem is fixed very well - and
i'll be looking in to figure out why - it was totally above me when i
attempted.

 This is a very reasonable argument for not have the headers be public
by default. However, simply adding the header to HEADER_FILES does not
succeed in solving the problem (at least in a framework.) This is
because the headers are copied to the .framework directory before any c
code is compiled - thus the header files are not yet generated. this can
be fixed by adding the rule that was in my previous email (reprinted
below) which lets the .h files be created as needed as well as the .c
files (if you would like the GNUmakefile which I am using that can
provided privately) -
