The simple points to highlight:

 ‣ Xfce Panel Plugins only require one header file that is
<libxfce4panel/libxfce4panel.h> and nothing else.
   Most plugins still use some various headers like
<libxfce4panel/xfce-panel-convenience.h> etc.
 ‣ The header file <libxfcegui4/libxfcegui4.h> is not included by
libxfce4panel.h anymore, hence you may need to manually add
<libxfce4ui/libxfce4ui.h> as needed.
 ‣ Replace the <libxfcegui4/libxfcegui4.h> against
<libxfce4ui/libxfce4ui.h> and try to compile. Fix warnings and errors
as needed.
 ‣ Clean up the autoconf script (configure.ac)

And that's off my head.

HTH.
Kind Regards
