This is a better name for this configure option, since it's really about
enabling the use of the deprecation flags, not allowing the use of
deprecated API.

This was used by the old timezone support in the clock, and is not
needed anymore.

We're switching to "tag:" instead of "[tag]".

Use --strip-prefix=Panel. Note that this technically breaks the API
proposed by the introspection, but since nothing depends on it...

Also pass --warn-all to the scanner, so we can see missing annotations.

The bonobo compatibility module doesn't support unloading.
In general, it's really hard to write a module that can be
safely unloaded and then reloaded later. Also, there's not
much point in supporting it for the panel's use case.  Therefore,
we won't anymore.  That solves the bonobo issue and any future
issues that could potentially crop up.

Nothing new, but make sure this is up-to-date.

Also tweak a bit autogen.sh and Makefile.am to make them look similar in
all my modules.

Note that this doesn't change the license. The license text was updated
for the latest FSF address, for example.

The support for bonobo is found at runtime: we just check if we have the
bonobo python bindings. If we don't have the bindings, then we just
fail for bonobo applets.

When fetching an applet IID from gconf, we were blindly assuming that
applet_iid is always a dbus-style IID. This is wrong since there are
still applets in the wild not migrated to the dbus library, and this
applet_iid key can contain references to bonobo IID.

So we always need to try to translate the IID we get to a current IID,
as if it was an old IID before using it.

Concretely, this will help people who added an applet from gnome-applets
2.31.90 or earlier with gnome-panel 2.31.x, who then use gnome-applets
2.31.90.1 (where applets were ported to dbus).

If the user has a bonobo applet in his configuration, we need to tell
the applet manager that we know this old ID, instead of just returning
NULL.
