What's the procedure I need to follow ? I couldn't see anything on
the PAUSE menu that looked promising.

I'd suggest the following:
- upload InlineX::C2XS to CPAN
- upload a new version of deprecated Inline::C2XS which will complain
loudly (warn or syslog) when used. It will also tell the user to use
the new InlineX::C2XS module.
- wait 2 or 3 months

Better make it 3 or 4 years.

Hope this helps,
