Bravo for moving to RPMs!  After the initial pain, you'll be thanking
yourself for years to come. :)

The dev/test thing is going to drive you nuts.   Spend $500 on a dev box.

Put the headers in, say, /usr/include/<company>-2.0.0/, you avoid the
version issue.  It seems like it would be a small change to your make
environment, and it will allow you to run multiple versions in the
future.  Libraries are "solved", but I would still use
/usr/lib/<company>-2.0.0/ for the directory.  Perl, python, etc. use
this system, and it works wonderfully. :)
