FWIW, that's actually easy to fix. You just put the right version of the 
DLL next to each executable, and create a file in the same directory 
with a magic name (that I disremember offhand but something like 
"loadseparate"), and the DLL loader will look at the directory with the 
executable first for any DLL.  It's the same thing that the 
"side-by-side" is supposed to solve, so googling for that would probably 
lead you to the right place.
