D'accord. There is no intention to carry all garbage in to the final 
Nut/OS 9.9.9.9. If, then we would still have NutPrintFormat. Anyone left 
here, who remembers this function?

IMHO, Java is handling this quite acceptable by defining specific 
features "deprecated" and still keeping them for a while. On the other 
hand, avr-libc for example had been most annoying once by moving twi.h 
from include/avr/ to include/compat/ without any warning. I'm sure we 
had similar situations in Nut/OS.

Though I have no idea yet how to spit out a "deprecated warning" without 
removing -Werror, which would open a big door for careless programming.
