I haven't had to do that conversion, but just looking at kpi_interface.h, it appears as though the changes would be pretty minimal (ifnet_t and its accessors and mutators strike me as more ecapsulation than obfuscation). The folks that I know that did this did it by converting their entire code base to using Mac OS X-style accessor functions and then defining macro versions of those accessors on other platforms. It was a lot of scut work, and a political challenge to get the core code maintainers to accept the change, but it was very simple technically. This email sent to site_archiver@lists.apple.com
