No, no.. that was the complete-rewrite version ;) Someone had made a
script to prefix function names, and there was plans on having 4.2 be
the version with just some minor API cleanup and prefixes.. if A5 would
have been released by now, there would be no need for it. But now, with
A5 development stalled - it could be a worthwhile goal to release this
4.2 version in the near future.

I assume, it's just like:

namespace allegro
{
#include <allegro.h>
}
