I think i would really like to be able to detect this at build time. I 
know as a project we don't usually add #ifdef version > 1.0 kind of things 
but some distributions already have openais 0.82 around and a downgrade to 
follow the stable2 branch could be complex.

I don't see creating another branch is the right solution as it will 
involve the extra overhead for it.

Is anybody actually working on this?

Also bug fixes and clean up commits in master should go into the stable2 
branch. There are already a good bunch of candidates for inclusion.
