@azubieta does this mean that consumers of libappimage need to be changed in order to be able to use the c++ based version? In this case, let's make very sure that appimaged is also changed appropriately once the c++ based libappimage is available for general consumption.

@probonopd As far as I know, this lib is only used at linuxdeploy and at libappimage. appimaged uses the desktop integration functions from libappimage so it will receive the changes once migrated to the new implementation.

I don't see what this is PR is supposed to add to this library. "Needed by libappimage" is a bad description. Also, it doesn't follow the same strategies re. PImpl as the rest of the code does. Please improve the description to show what this is supposed to add, and fix the use of PImpl.

Closing it as no longer required.
