Well, whatever works I guess, personally I prefer a big-bang approach.
i.e. remove the class in one fell sweep. Deprecated things just don't go
away in practice :-) Moving stuff into "binfilter" rather than rewriting
that particular beast is always acceptable as an edge-case though.

The ResId should be the resource id assigned to something in the .res
files (built from .src files) which describe things like dialogs and so
forth. So I suspect its used to set the colour of parts of the UI. e.g.
find . -name "*.src" -exec grep Color {} /dev/null \;

I'm not sure however what's the goal of replacing "Color", seems a
fairly reasonable class if its types are simply updated to use sal_Foo
ones instead of old-school ones.
