hell, just look at raster's use of  headers : he puts everything in a 
_private.h (config.h too). If he wants to use Eina:

#include Eina.h

#include "exported_header.h"
#include "***_private.h"

and boum, it will fail with Eina if he wants to use CPU_SET. He will have 
to include config.h before Eina.h in a specific source file, while it's 
alreay included in his _private.h.

Don't tell me how to use these headers. In case you don't remember, it's 
ME who moved all the inclusion of the headers from the *_private.h to the 
source file, to avoid such problems (especially on Windows where it's even 
more evil).

And I still think that it is a bug.
