The changes and recommendations to make changes to your code were made in
the release notes of 4.1.0 I think, which was AGES ago. My best guess is
mid-February 2002, but it may have been earlier.

If you do a clean install, yes, register globals will default to OFF, but
for an upgrade install of 4.2.x, it *should* pick up your old php.ini
setting of ON.
It took me a week or so to update my code as well, but I look at it as a
good move... my code is now more secure for starters.
