use of deprecated macros

["P. Henrique Silva" <ph silva gmail com>]

Hi guys,

I got some problems building GNOME head a few days ago and noticed
that was because libbonoboui was using some libgnome deprecated macros
and was using GNOME_DISABLE_DEPRECATED (this was fixed) [1]. After
this I started looking at some GNOME modules to see if many other use
these macros too.

Nautilus use a few libgnome and eel deprecated macros.

I removed the dependency of libgnome deprecated macros on libbonoboui
[1] and I am considering about do the same on nautilus.

Is this achievable and worth enough?

EEL_CALL_PARENT doesn't have a glib equivalent. The discussion in [2]
suggest that this is a readability question, so opinions could be
diverse.

There are a few non-deprecated macros on eel that nautilus still use,
but as all macros from libgnome (gnome-macros.h) was deprecated, this
could be a plus in the direction of eliminate libgnome as everybody
wants [3].
