It's quite a hard task to migrate more than 3500 lines :S
This little function is helping a lot, I replace all the :tangle yes
setting the right destination name for the given block,
so at least I do the first big transiction with org-babel..

(defun ca-replace-with-file (fname)
         (interactive "sWith String:?\n")
         (let ((fname (format "modules/ca-%s.el" fname)))
           (query-replace ":tangle yes" (concat ":tangle " fname))
         ))
