Well, I've never been able to articulate a clear and complete policy...
Roughly speaking, I'm maintaining source and binary compatibility for anything
that uses the public API (m_pd.h) and trying not to break things that use
private APIs (g_vanas.h, s_stuff.h and, privater still, m_imp.h").  Meanwhile
there's a profusion of ".h" files I didn't write (d_soundfile.h, g_all_guis.h,
etc) that I've never formed a policy for.

In the case of get_sys_sleepgrain() I can write a new implementation that
should work - in fact that might even be a good idea fro otehr reasons :) -
but there's a lot more that I've changed in s_stuff.h, since I've revamped
the whole audio interface.  I bet a lot of other stuff will turn out to
be broken, hmm.
