See patch here:

Fastest way to get it accepted: first send a patch with
only the minimal changes necessary for the new API (i.e.
not the new option parsing, nor additional key handling,
and especially not the "cosmetic" reindent in check_events).
I don't consider caca relevant enough to bother with
backwards-compatibility.
