The latter (modifying the XML files). For a concrete example, please
see this gerrit patch: http://review.source.kitware.com/#change,2476.

In this patch, I opted to modify the existing XML migration guide's
code snippets (FFTUseImageAsTemplateParameter.xml) to reflect the name
change in my patch and added another for my patch
(FFTFilterRename.xml). The code snippets are essentially the same,
though, so my new migration guide document seems redundant.

Thanks in advance for your recommendations.
