I would not bother recovering the ppu's. 

Since RTL and codegeration changes might cause other trouble for non trivial
cases (specially between major versions), I would say it is not very
practical.

IOW the possibilities are mostly theoretical, and if you are really in a
hurry, stop wasting time recovering and start rewriting the missing source.

... and make sure you back up source next time.
