Thanks for all the feedback! 
retsyo: newest version in CVS does not have that bug anymore.
No precompiled version of the lib for now: it'd also require newest fbc exe from CVS as latest official 0.10 doesn't support some things... So either download the whole FreeBASIC module from CVS (instructions to download CVS modules as anonymous are here) or wait for next official release...
No sprites rotation/scaling: code these yourself on top of the lib in FB itself if you need them. (and maybe release the routines as an addon)
na_th_an: multikey support will be there before the official release, as you say it's easy as I already have a message loop, and doesn't add much bloat at all. Not sure about mouse support, but eventually it'll be there too as it's almost a must nowadays.
What about function names though? For multiple keys access I was thinking about MULTIKEY(scancode) as there was already a routine named like that in QB, sounds similar to INKEY and it is not likely it clashes with existing symbols... About mouse functions I'm open to suggestions, but I'd like an unique function that gets x,y and button states BYREF and updates them. Maybe a function named "MOUSE" directly will do the job:
where z would store the mouse wheel position and buttons would store button states as a bitmask.

MOUSE(BYREF x AS INTEGER, BYREF y AS INTEGER, BYREF z AS INTEGER, BYREF buttons AS INTEGER)
