There were no API changes at all. All of the names that are standard
now have been around for a long time and the only thing we did was to
reverse the logic of the COMPAT_CRUFT defines. What was
#ifndef GIMP_DISABLE_COMPAT_CRUFT
before, has become
#ifdef GIMP_ENABLE_COMPAT_CRUFT
now. That's it! Nothing else changed!!

Are you sure? Why does it work for the gimp-print plug-in then?
We've been using the old names. I ran Sven's conversion script to
generate the new names, and put a whole stack of #define's in the one
UI-related file that's shared between the 1.0 code and the 1.2 code.
It does make it harder to maintain the plugin for both releases,
although not all that much so.
