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.
