mtcc.h is a library internal header. The public api is currently in
svn_client.h. That is what all the discussion is about.

So thanks for directly jumping to a conclusion based on a subset of the
information; and without looking at the actual code.

[If you don't see an import of mtcc.h in mtcc-test.c and in svmucc.c,
perhaps that should tell you that you don't look at the right header, or
even the right api...]
