Sorry we have not had time to look at exporting an interface.
Unfortunately your approach is probably not what we would like to do.
We don't want to have to worry about maintaining an API; at least not
one this wide and deeply integrated with the implementation.
I suggest you just copy the code you need into KDevelop for now. This
is allowed by the license as long as the copyright headers are left in
the files (you can even add KDevelop copyright headers above them).
Later when we have time to develop a public API for CMake you can
convert to using it.
