I have no problem switching to the new syntax. Don't take the 2.x comment
as a "requirement" from me... we've had so many incompatible changes over
the past six months... I'm not worried :-)

Let's get to a solid API that we are all happy with - and I'll be happy to
adjust our code to match that.

When Sebastian and I first talked about using the "mobile components" for
Subsurface-mobile I explicitly agreed that I was happy with this being a
bit of "learning by doing" and at least initially being a moving target.

I guess I was confused about the fact that the current version calls
itself 1.0 :-)
