Yes, was wondering the same. Also my config file listing function
doesn't really belong into 4.3. It's things to improve upon the 4.2 API,
but which are not part of any new 4.3 API (with al_ prefix).

So, that would mean, 4.2.1 is not simply a bugfix version anymore.. the
question then is, where do we stop? Like, do we e.g. want resizable
windows support there? I think there was almost-working patches for both
windows and X11 around at some points.. applying them to 4.3 would mean
adapting to the new display API first. So I guess, it would be easier to
just work the patches into teh 4.2 branch. OTOH, all time spent into the
4.2 branch is lost on the 4.3 branch..
