When that happens, is there a complete redesign, or just a transliteration? If the former, how much effort is the rewrite as compared to the original (I realize the second time around is easier) and how does the result compare? If a transliteration, how much effort, how many old bugs discovered and how much debugging time for new bugs and how does the result compare to the original. If no comparison is available, is it because there's no record of the original or because there's no measurement of the new version, or what?
