Up to you.  If you need any of the new features (like clean handling
of NULLs) then convert.  If you were happy with the old way, no need.

A new-style dynamically loaded function must be defined as using
language "newC" not "C"; this cues fmgr which way to call it.

Gotta start updating the documentation soon ;-)
