Is that because we use the OpenType version of ScriptShape, etc?  In that case
I think I should switch to a GetProcAddress() method which is common practice
on Windows then.

Yes, we will have for everything.  I just haven't got to building the
configure system properly yet...

I've been on vacation last week and this week, but I'm getting some hacking
done.  I'm integrating Graphite today.  It was necessary to integrate at least
a couple other backends to kick the last quirks out of the API.  So that's for
the API stability.  As for the 0.8 release, well, I just have been lazy :).
