            Bug ID: 97630
           Summary: export macros for tp-qt-service are wrong / should
                    tp-qt-service be separate?
           Product: Telepathy
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: minor
          Priority: medium
         Component: tp-qt

tp-qt-service is a library that started out as static, because we weren't sure
if we wanted to break the API/ABI while we were experimenting with its first
code.

Later on, due to distribution demand, it became a shared library, with soname
management. However, the initial plan was to keep this inside the same library
as the client-side API, which is why all the export macros are TP_QT_EXPORT.
This macro is wrong to be used in two different shared libraries, as that
wouldn't link on certain systems (basically, Windows).

The solution is to add a new export macro, though question remains if we want
to keep this as a separate library instead of merging it into tp-qt. I think I
would prefer merging it.
