Days to make everything work, not days to compile, but yes I do have
quite a bit of additional files more than 300 I would say, that includes
old pkg like bbdb-2.35, for which I have written various hacks, that do
not work in more modern bbdb version mostly because of renaming

But why, instead of deleting after a while the 
defalias, define-obsolete-variable-alias, defvaralias etc
not moving them into a file compat-obsolete.el or something like this?
