I understand that you want creating a new flag instead of ifdefs 
but this new method should not be much slower in the worst case 
and much faster on average. I would rather consider replacing the 
existing SCROLL_MOVE mode (so no ifdefs after some 
experimental/test period).
Also, the capabilities of hardware for the new method are exactly 
the same as for the old SCROLL_MOVE. Every time the 
HWACCEL_COPYAREA is selected the new scroll method should also be 
selected. The new HWACCEL flag seems to be alwyas a copy of 
HWACCEL_COPYAREA flag.

The MERGE_BLITS is a different story but my suspection is that 
does not give any real benefit (in the few % range plus or minus) 
and could be dropped completely. I left it to allow members of 
this list testing and return a feedback. If my supection is true 
the whole MERGE_BLITS can be dropped to simplify the code.

Kind regards,
Krzzysztof
