i agree that it must be changed the (d,s in (s,d
but adding useless parameters to functions that don't need'em is not
good. or maybe we could do that, but we should also add some macros
without the useless parameters.

ex:

void al_draw_sprite(BITMAP *source, BITMAP *dest, int source_x,
int source_y, int dest_x, int dest_y, int width, int height);
(similar to current blit)

chose u the name
void al_draw_sprite_2(BITMAP *source,
BITMAP *dest, int dest_x, int dest_y);
(similar to current draw_sprite ; implemented as a macro)

i think this should be fine, since it doesn't force u to use
parameters u don't need
