Hi, I have a general idea, that it would be good to use some code-parsing app's to automate module porting tasks -
the initial work would pay-off, when a new version comes out
sth about parsing ( tokenizer things)
http://php.planetmirror.com/manual/en/ref.tokenizer.php
http://www.zend.com/manual/function.token-get-all.php
http://www.antlr.org/article/rewrite.engine/index.tml
sth of this stuff is used byhttp://phpdoctor.sourceforge.net

scenario:
1) find some function
2) state what to change in it
3) tell parser do the job

of course it will not do all the job..
and in some places regexp might help as well
