Yes, those are the main changes.  There are also small changes to 
configure.in, the RPM spec file (if the package has one), and the 
Makefile.am's in the toplevel directory and doc/ directory (help/ 
directory in GNOME).  Also, we should make sure the OMF files have all the 
required bits.  This is outlined in the Writing ScrollKeeper OMF Files 
document at:

http://scrollkeeper.sourceforge.net/documentation/writing_scrollkeeper_omf_files/index.html

At a minimum, old OMF files will need a seriesid added to them, since this 
is a new feature in ScrollKeeper 0.3.x/0.4.x.  We should also check that 
all the documents have the right mime type, since most of them used to be 
"text/sgml" and now they are "text/xml".

Note that I will make a new package, gdp-example2, based off of 
scrollkeeper_example2 which has GNOME-specific customizations.  The 
differences will be very minor (just a couple paths changed probably), but 
it may be worth holding off updating lots of packages.
