Hello Jakob,
While I can't give any specific answers to your questions I
will say that I"ve actually gone to the effort of porting some
libraries, I where I wasn't familiar with the codebase (yes
I've gotten things wrong), DFL and most recently Juno.
Such efforts were not a great effort. cloc reports about 36k
loc for Juno. One thing I did when I made these changes was
that I committed similar changes in one commit (some missed
though). I considered writing a lessons learned from this, but
its extra time. You can check out the commits from Nov 6 to get
an idea of what goes into a conversion.

Thanks, those are encouraging words, I'm having a bit of problems
figuring out the commits, but that was just after a quick glance.
Doing a quick writeup would be most appreciated, by me or anybody
who is going to convert.
Cheers, Jakob.
