You do have a choice. Multiple, even. The first and simplest: don't do what 
you're trying to do.

Second, you can also add public API to allow what you're asking. See my other 
email sent to the interest mailing list.

The third option is to import the code you're developing into Qt. Then you are 
allowed to use the private API.
