A week ago, I asked this. I think it has escaped the attention of the 
list. Right now, to keep things alive I had to revert to my previous 
eCos checkout. I would really like to upgrade to bleeding-edge CVS (e.g. 
I want to add my external RTC chip, DS1339, which is driven via I2C, but 
the I2C interface has changed/improved meanwhile).

How would I go about upgrading? Our vendor has provided Flash drivers 
but they speak the old Legacy API. Would it be a breeze to convert them 
to the newer Flash API? Or would it be easier to try to reinstate a 
Legacy portability layer, with maybe symbol name changes in our vendor's 
code to avoid name conflicts?
