The biggest change ever happened with namespaces and so in in 5.3 should already be done. If you have to change some parts, this is done in a few hours/days, with search and replace and a little bit handwork. And for the good feeling after refactoring, there are UnitTests around today. --f46d044786b57803e804d4f5b301--
