I created that function.  I use 2.1.72 on a daily basis, so I can only 
assume that it will work the same way under the new warning function. 
I made the change via a perl script which I've attached.  I also attached 
the __warn_deprecated__ function which I think would be best in the 
miscellaneous directory.

scripts/ChangeLog:

2006-01-20  Bill Denney  <address@hidden>
        * deprecated/*: Add a warning to all functions warning that the
        function is deprecated.
        * miscellaneous/__warn_deprecated__.m: Give a standard warning for
        deprecated functions.

I don't know if you want to keep the perl script (it doesn't really strike 
me as necessary since all deprecated functions in the future should just 
be created with the __warn_deprecated__ line in them.  If you do, here is 
a Changelog for it:
