As I mentioned, in response to the above message, it's hardly a new idea.
The intent is not to magically allow two different versions of the DLL to
coexist.  I expect that, as time progresses, there will be more checks to
ensure that doesn't happen.  1.3.13 has new checks for this, in fact.

You don't install two versions of linux on your system and expect them to
interoperate at the same time.  Ditto, cygwin.
