We created a Perl Command line system for Linux that can be used with VVC to help retrofit your Joomla code.
It includes a difference script and code profiler script. It is menu-driven with some documentation, a FAQ, and a support interface. It helps auomate the files VVC identifies, in a batch mode.
It can be downloaded from:
www.internetsitemakers.com/Tools/JOOMLA/retrofit/rel_1.0.bz2
It is licensed as GPL v2, i.e. keep our name and copyright visible, share it, enhance it, but DO NOT resell it in whole or part. Let us know if you use it or enhance it.
Enjoy, dpminusa.
