Short transition periods tend to cause unnecessary hassle to some users.
I therefore favour 1 year or 2 years as a transition period.

I don't understand. Is the #warning that I added misleading? Then, by

reports the location of the warning; so, from the compiler's diagnostic
it should be clear that there still is a getprogname.h. No?)
