Other tools that try to handle more than one version usually just do a
if (backend_version < 7.2) do this;
else do that;
(examples: JDBC, ODBC, pg_dump). (Even if "do this" would be empty, you
can print a message or something.)
Keeping a separate file for each version may lead to a lot of duplicate
code being necessary and hard to maintain. (All the module-loading stuff
you mentioned makes my head spin, but I can understand an "if" statement
like the above. ;-) )
