Sounds about right, though I agree with Christoph that adding more 
#ifdefs will just cause trouble in the long run (there are already far 
too many to begin with--we should be removing them, not adding them).

Maybe you can post some of the interface changes to the list for review?  
Based on the web page you posted, it sounds like many of the bug fixes 
should just go in directly, along with the bulk of the extension.  If 
possible, the event layer stuff can be abstracted out a bit so that the 
resulting code is at least somewhat maintainable, maybe you have ideas 
for some cleanups that should be done to make that easier/doable?
