Most of the GNU projects maintained by Gnulib committers changed them to
use text like this a year ago (or earlier):
diff --git a/tests/test-dfa-match-aux.c b/tests/test-dfa-match-aux.c
index 112f9dd918..3a66bc62ef 100644

I know we have a regex to catch a few of the old addresses:
'(Mass Ave|Massachusetts Ave|Temple Pl|Franklin St|Milk St)'
But I forget if someone wrote a script to automatically convert them.
I'll check and send one here if I find it.
