I agree that we should push 4.3 but its not clear, to me at least, when 
a stable version will be ready. This change can be made to both 4.2 and 
4.3. I would really love to use draw_lit_h_flip in my game but using 
temporary bitmaps to accomplish this might prove difficult as I have a 
lot of sprites so I'm either using up a lot of memory or cpu.

It seems only fair to say we won't add some features to 4.2 until a 4.3 
release is feasible.
