The equivalent of liboil's stable API in oil is the submodule oilfuncs.
Functions in oilfuncs will have the same names as their equivalent in liboil
except for initialize functions.
Currently I've filled oilfuncs with a "oil_copy8x8_u8" (see
http://dev.lemote.com/files/document/oildocs/oilfuncs/index.html)

oil is still in early stage development, I will try to integrate it with
some applications to see whether it works fine.
