In my (humble) opinion, there should be no 1.2 compatibility mechanism
at all, or at least there should be some means to disable it if it
does exist. If I'm porting an SDL 1.2 app to 1.3, I don't want to get
into the situation where I'm using some 1.2 features that may vanish in
the future. I think it would be more sane just to compile time break any
1.2 feature so that you're forced to used the 1.3 API -- a
clean break, so to speak.
