Well, we've been "improving" the API by trying to make it nicer and
more coherent, so the new 'standard' is that all macros and constants
should be in UPPER_CASE_LIKE_THAT. That's why we now provide
"replacements" for "ft_kerning_default (e.g. FT_KERNING_DEFAULT)

We don't expect to remove the "old" macros too soon to preserve
source compatibility with "old" programs, but they're now
considered deprecated, as stated by the API reference.
