elpa 2014

[Vedran Miletić]

This has now been fixed with commit 
dfc1bdb00e2f7d5ed97efb28c5ad125960b736b1 for those who use official Git 
repo. I would lean towards keeping the old ELPA API as supported despite 
the slightly increased maintenance burden, because it is a difference in a 
single function call. Also, Debian 8 and Fedora 21 ship the old ELPA. 
Fedora 22 and later will ship new version. All Ubuntu versions, up to 
15.04, ship old ELPA.

Another macro, say __ELPA2 can be introduced for new API support, as was 
done with __LIBXC. The old macro can eventually be removed. I'm willing to 
provide a patch if this is an acceptable solution.

Regards,
Vedran
