To a certain point I'd agree with you, if we had #ifdefs for multiple versions back and various API changes. But there's no checking here for versions older than the last release and I don't think it's unreasonable for one project's CVS to support another's. Many developers working on different projects need to build CVS versions all over the place. Also, once DirectFB 0.9.23 is released, if there is a desire to get rid of these #ifdefs, I could send a patch to remove them and tweak the version check in configure.
