But I need the Import part now to feed the XML file to ;) I assumed I could detect the Wikimedia version, and use the special Import page if it exists, and if not, defaults to some code that would be a copy of something working in 1.5 ?
I don't actually know the answer to your question, but I wanted to point out 3 things - in order of rapidly decreasing importance, they are: 1) Any feature for importing into >=1.5 will be non-trivial to make operate successfully with <=1.4, because the database schema has been radically altered. That doesn't mean there'd be no way of fixing it up whatsoever, but it certainly wouldn't be a case of dropping it in place and it working, however flakily.
2) You made the common mistake of confusing the terms "Wikimedia" (an organisation promoting free knowledge) and "MediaWiki" (a piece of software). See http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Names 3) In your first paragraph, I think some of the places you said "Export", you meant to say "Import"; this made it a bit confusing to read, so I thought I'd warn you in case you get any baffled responses.
