I don't know about _DrawBlockThumb() (it's in my (Dano) Be headers, 
too), but IIRC SetLimits() was added because it's a somewhat not-
understandable missing functionality in current BeOS.
And since it was added in a binary compatible way (you could also 
replace BEOS_R5_COMPATIBLE with __HAIKU__, though), it shouldn't harm.
