There is already a patch that works with new api (not mine)
I splitted it in 2 files like for alsa:
http://oss.netfarm.it/mplayer/patches/xx_libcaca_split.diff
this replaces current vo_caca with new one and puts old in vo_caca9.c
for a minor size patch you must rename the old in vo_caca9.c and
add the new as vo_caca.c or change the configure patch
to do it in a different way.
The patch works is also tested on win32.

Bye
