As far as I can tell the only two missing features that are only in
the existing mgp-mode.el are:
1. C-u C-c C-c calculates the current page and passes it to magicpoint
so that the presentation starts with the current page.
This shouldn't be very hard to add. If I take code from the
original we need papers from the original author Hirotsugu
Kakugawa.
2. The existing mgp-mode.el has some key-bindings that let you insert
directives directly e.g. C-c C-p inserts "%page".
IMHO this can be done easier with tempo if there is a demand for
this feature.

I was in contact with the original developer. It sounded like he was
using Emacs 20.7 and his original version quite happily without doing
any development on it.

I had asked him if I could reuse parts of his code and he encouraged me
to to do so. At least that's how I read his mail :-)
For the record here's the mail that I got from the maintainer:
