Just to elaborate (I hope I won't mess up anything this time):
If the library qualifies as a "system library" (something that
normally goes with the system), you needn't do anything about it. If
not, then you need to provide a license permission to the GPL part to
link with the non-free part, provided that you are the exclusive
copyright holder.
In any case, this applies to linking; if the above referenced header
files were part of the distribution, they would have to have a
GPL-compatible license. But I don't actually see them in the SVN
archive; so it's OK.
