Payload detection options conf files

Hi Guys

I currently run Snort version 2.9.0.3. I know this is a very old version, but I'm waiting for version 2.9.2.2. To keep 
the system running current, I've been updating my snort.conf file so I could still download the 2.9.0.5 rules. I've 
been doing that for almost a year now and it has worked well enough. Now with the rules of version 2.9.1.2 it seems, 
that also Payload detection options have been changed. Where I can tweak those options, so I can manually add the 
pkt_data option and whatever else might throw compile errors?

It's just to keep it running for 1 more month, I promise I'll make a real update than ;)
