Okay, I just did it -- it is rather easy. (Hopefully everything works) As it might be from interest for other people, here comes my solution:

• Copy all the old orainst/ows21.* files to the new orainst directory
• Change orainst/unix.old and unix.rgs, you have to add the ows21 line and might have to change some other lines (include ows21), depending on your installation (check the old unix.rgs and unix.old files!)
• From orainst/ows21.map, generate (e.g. with sed) a script to make the new directories (You have to make sure that they have the same permissions as the old ones!) and copy (-pi) the files from the old to the new location.
• Check for the old paths in the copied files (find/grep) and substitute the new ones (sed).
• Be careful to keep the file permissions right! If not sure, do a find ... \! -user oracle -ls on the old and new $ORACLE_HOME.

Up to now everything works as expected. ;-)
