If the new config files contain the same sort of data, would it be possible / 
efficient use of time to write an xslt file to convert old files to the new 
format?
   
  Appologies if this is a silly idea / would take too much time. I haven't been 
following the changes but might help adoption of the new format if it is easy 
to convert.

  Just for information:
Do I need to spend time writing templates for old schema ?
If people agree to rewrite their config.xml to the new form, I'm will develop 
opkgc regarding this new schema, but if people need to use opkgc and don't 
have time to update their config.xml, I can debug current templates regarding 
current schema.

Jean
