I put together a little set of compatibility headers. Its certainly not
complete, just install this and I was able to compile gr-baz w/o changes
when using the gnuradio next branch:

https://github.com/guruofquality/grcompat

So if anyone gives grcompat a try on their out of tree project, and
finds a missing header or so, send it over. I think this will help
smooth the transition.

Some of the find modules for gnuradio differ a bit. For another project
I had to manually add these arguments to the cmake configure:
 -DGRUEL_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/local/include/grcompat
-DGNURADIO_CORE_INCLUDE_DIRS=/usr/local/include/grcompat
