I would suggest waiting until after 2.4. At the time of 2.2 it was 
still possible for a truly brave soul
to build an extension module with MPW, and I while I've never tried 
this myself
I have no reason to believe this has broken. But the examples you give 
can definitely go,
if they bother you rip them out.

After 2.3 we can get rid of everything related to MacOS9.
