Converting a mod from vb3 to vb4

I have a mod I created for vb3 and I am thinking it is probably time to move over to vb4. I know there are substantial differences between the versions, so I'm looking for help and advice.

The main areas I'm concerned about are:
1. Preferences / options changes. I have a couple of prefs that would appear under the General settings prefs (a global on / off option, plus an option for a globally visible item in the forum header), and I also have per forum settings (display a specific item to the right of the forum / sub-forum name in the listing - plus in forumhead)

2. vb code in the templates to check status of an option (show in this forum type of thing)

3. hooks. I use a couple of hooks to ensure the code appears in the right place.

I know, I'm being somewhat vague to say the least. Would it be acceptable to post the contents of my mods .xml file in the thread for someone to have a look over?

Thanks in advance for any suggestions / advice / comments
