Other tools that try to handle more than one version usually just do a

if (backend_version < 7.2)
do this;
else
do that;

(examples: JDBC, ODBC, pg_dump). (Even if "do this" would be empty, you
can print a message or something.)

Keeping a separate file for each version may lead to a lot of duplicate
code being necessary and hard to maintain. (All the module-loading stuff
you mentioned makes my head spin, but I can understand an "if" statement
like the above. ;-) )
