How is the library used?

If it's used under new APIs, then just fail if it's not installed.

If it's used under old APIs, then don't warn at all; either deprecate 
those APIs because you think they're unsafe, or keep quiet ;o)

If you must warn, warn at runtime not import time.

Just my £0.03 (inflation).
