We will definitely avoid breaking the libqmi-glib API, so in
ModemManager we'll treat it as any other external library. As soon as we
get the first release out, MM will very likely just use >= x.y.z when
looking for it. Note anyway that MM can be compiled using --without-qmi,
so it won't be a hard build dependency.
