I haven't had a lot of time to think about this...

It probably still does, since the breakage (for deraadt and
henning) is caused by magicpoint switching to more modern
font handling, causing the layout of slides to change enough
to make some existing slides unreadable.
We'll probably need 2 ports a "legacy" and a "current" one.
Later magicpoint versions aren't broken because they changed the way
they rendered fonts to use a more modern method. They may break
old presentations because of it, though, and that's a valid concern.
It makes sense to me to have two versions if this is the case.
Otherwise we're basically freezing magicpoint for the sake of
backwards compatibility, which, while important, shouldn't be the
only consideration in my humble opinion.
If the rest of you disagree, *hides* okay! :-)
