With all due respect to both of you guys, wouldn't it be simpler to
split the offending code from Producer into a separate library dependent
on both Producer and OSG? I think that would be the simplest and least
headache-prone solution (i.e. option 3 from Robert's list). The other
options are kludges, to be honest, and may complicate things to the
point that people will turn away from using OSG with Producer due to
such hassle.

A quick grep through the source of Producer shows that nothing else is
using it, so it shouldn't be a big problem to  split it off into a
separate lib.

Forking of the libraries should be only the very last option and is
always detrimental to the projects involved - I certainly hope that you
two can get along well enough so that this wouldn't be required from
neither side.

Regards,

Jan
