The 1.5 kit had better 'just work' on a 1.5.1 machine.  The libraries 
are supposed to be backwards compatible and the executable format is
exactly the same.

If the package doesn't work (which would be an easy thing to test),
you need to send-pr the problem so that one of the core folks can 
find out what failed in backward compatability.
