Thunar installs a shared lib, headers and the pkg-config file for this 
purpose, e.g. compile with:

  cc `pkg-config --cflags --libs thunar-vfs-1` ...

and remember to invoke thunar_vfs_init() on program/module startup, and 
thunar_vfs_shutdown() on exit (atleast for modules!).

But since the API is not frozen yet, expect breakage during the next 
months. ;-)
