Convert Drupal Modules Between Releases

My Chess module for Drupal is still in development, but I have a version up and running, that should allow anyone on Drupal 5 to play chess against any other registered members of a site.

Over the next few weeks I want to add in some more features (display check and checkmate, show captured pieces in a block, queening, ability to replay a match move by move), and then I want to add in more options for the display.

Once those features are added, I will be updating the module to Drupal 6. Doing some research on this, I found this module: Deadwood. Deadwood performs automated updating of modules from Drupal 5 to Drupal 6, almost completely automatically. It doesn't make every change that needs to be made, but it will make many of them. Handy!
