OK: a module may provide both lib files, and in its startup file, test 
the Scilab version and copy the right lib file in its ~\macros\ directory.
But this is quite tricky. From now (5.5) and until Scilab 6.1, genlib() 
could generate both "lib" and "lib.xml" files, and lib() use the right 
file among both.
This would make the transition softer.
