Best way to upgrade a slightly modified version of vBulletin?

[Boss-Hog]

Hello,

Due to recent announcement that vBulletin users are strongly recommended to upgrade to the latest version of the software (3.0.5), I am looking to upgrade my current version (which is 3.0). However, as is the case with most people here, I have about 12 hacks installed. None of these are huge overhauls of the software or anything, but it would be a pain to track them all down and re-code them from scratch. I'm sure this question has been raised plenty of times in the past but I would like to know: what is the best way to upgrade my software to the latest version while minimizing the amount of work I have to do to keep my currently installed hacks? Thanks for your help.

Boss
