this is quite interesting when one thinks about it.  I've often 
considered suggesting when people have problems but it has never come to 
that.  But thinking about I wonder:

I make a small program which

a) deserializes a archive to memory using code from 1.47
b) serializes to a new archive using code from 1.70.

Sound good.  But ...

When I build/link this code to two different libraries I would expect 
some conflicts to arise.  Working around this has some possibilities 
(eg. using separatly loaded DLLS) but it seems that they would be quite 
complicated in practice.
