Someone who encountered this problem has to debug it and send a patch. 
Otherwise it will never be fixed. 

Sorry, if you are the only one with this problem *you* have to fix it. 
Sending an oops report just gives a hint where to start debugging.

The API is compatible. The path to the include files has changed of

You don't need new keymaps.
All remote control stuff should work as before.
