- do not change the signature of public functions, even if
  they're brain-dead

- change their implementation to return FT_Err_Unimplemented
  (unless you're compiling on a legacy system)

- add new public function to use the newest one, use #ifdef
  to avoid defining them on legacy system

am I missing something ?
