 great!

 i'll test this stuff asap.

 oh, another question on wishing to keep compile-time (#ifdef's:)
 retro-compatibility with previous libslv2 releases:

 is it correct to assume that "slv2_ui_instance_new" symbol is
 determinant to whether we're in presence of this newer libslv2 version?
 if not, what would be the correct method, iyo?
