[Rd] Graphics device API

[Simon Urbanek]

I just wrote a graphics device taking the X11 device in R-devel as a 
guide (I was told it's the reference device). It works perfectly with 
R-devel, but I just noticed that the API (e.g. the use of 
R_GE_gcontext) is incompatible with previous versions of R. Is the 
current API in R-devel set in stone or are there any further plans to 
change the API? (If so, how far?) Also, is there any 'recommended' or 
'official' way to provide compatibility (beside using wrappers in 
various #ifdef's..)?

Thanks,
Simon
