header.h contains
	#ifndef __EXPAND_LIBRARY_FOR_COMPILE__
	template <> myclass<char>::myclass();
	template <> myclass<char>::~myclass();
	template <> void myclass<char>::method();
	#endif
these *declare* specializations of the myclass ctor,dtor and method.  There's
no reason to make them NOT visible when compiling the library.

However, it does appear to be a g++ bug in that the inline attribute is
copied from the general template to the specialization.
