I have already suggested this approach to someone with a similar problem: upgrade one version at a time. I’m sure it is possible to find older versions; 1. upgrade to the next minor release (1.4 => 1.5, etc), 2. do the necessary adjustments, 3. goto 1.
It may be a lot of work, but at the end of the day you will have a perfectly upgraded application. I have successfully upgraded 3 apps this way, one of them being really big (tens of thousands of code lines).
