If the automatic conversion utility works as I expect, it shouldn't take longer
to port a 3.12 app to the prefixed API than to the non-prefixed. Just run the
utility (which does all the prefixing), then compile, and fix the few differences
to 3.12 (like END_OF_MAIN), as well as the (possibly) not auto-converted stuff.
