AFAIK, the new_api_branch will slowly be integrated into Allegro after 
4.2 (in 4.3). It's probably best to wait 'til then.

Though in all honestly, I'm not sure why there is a branch for the new 
API. Why do work for 4.3 when 4.2 isn't even out yet and we're still 
working on 4.1? It could prove to be couter-productive since we're 
mostly worried about 4.1, so when 4.3 rolls around, we'll just have to 
go through all this again and possibly hit problems when it's too late 
to do anything about them.

I've honestly not really paid attention to the new_api_branch because 
I've been slightly unsure of what it was, though I have a good idea now, 
and I'm worrying more about the problems plaguing 4.1. I wouldn't doubt 
if some others have done the same. So now, when we start on 4.3, I'll be 
lost on some of these things and may end up agreeing to things I don't 
fully understand, or get confused because I haven't (been able to) pay 
attention earlier/now.
