I'd write a strongly worded letter to the company and ask them to come up with a patch that'll redo the links for you or make the old links compatible.

Subject: "upgrade"?
Hi whirlers,
We recently bought an upgrade of one of our SW packages (I'm not mentioning the company or product so as not to embarrass them) for the entire department. What we didn't know (obviously, they didn't advertise this great 'feature') is that the links we built with the previous version are completely incompatible and we have to build them manually using the new version. Their documentation recommends choosing between building the links and building the project from scratch! We have numerous on-going projects built with this tool, some of them containing up to 200 links (and one with about 500). What would you do? Erika
