My guess is that this would be your best bet but I'm not exactly sure
how to make it work against the latest snapshot of QuantLib.

gensrc/ObjectHandler/QuantLibAddin/QuantLibXL rely on relative paths to
find the QuantLib directory.  The quantlib-old repo contains an obsolete
snapshot of QuantLib.  So you would have to do something such as one of
the following?:

1) Pull from the new QuantLib repo into the quantlib-old/QuantLib
repo.  Not sure if this is possible.

2) Replace the quantlib-old/QuantLib directory with the new QuantLib
repo (as a subdirectory?).

3) Modify gensrc/ObjectHandler/QuantLibAddin/QuantLibXL to look for
QuantLib in a different directory (e.g. ../../QuantLib instead
of ../QuantLib).

I haven't thought about it yet, I guess I will have to solve this
problem for the next release if we package the old build.

Regards,
Eric
