The problem you basically run into is that T2 has replaced/fixed some  
interfaces that were inherently broken in T1. So how do you be  
backwards compatible?

Functionally, really nothing is that different. It's not like porting  
Linux code to windows or something. It's just the function arguments  
are slightly different, etc. If anything, porting the code is going  
to *reveal* bugs that existed in the T1 version.
