Hi all,

I just opened two PRs:

Both implement a compatibility layer and aim to make the new libraries the mainstream code path.

If someone could run the checklist tests, that would be super helpful. Once we have a couple of confirmations, we could .. move toward making a release!

I pulled ideas from lots of the existing issues/PRs - even if I do not remember every detail, they were really useful. And since I am not exactly a C expert, that support helped me a lot to get these two PRs ready. If I missed something or got anything wrong, please tell me.

Thanks a lot in advance!

Bruno
