Great. I guess one thing to do would be to provide a callback 
registration function that lets users replace the default handler
(which, as you say, just redirects to the 'old' callback interface)
with they own, and thus write little tests to get a feeling for the
new API's use. What do you think ?

This could then immediately be tested in a variety of 
contexts/languages, notably the C++ and python wrappers, which have
their own way to deal with errors.

Could such a registrator be added to the cvs snapshots so we have some
time to play with it before the next beta release ?
