Just to be sure that every one understand this correctly. New Edje
file format is almost futur proof. It include minor and major version
number. It was planned from the beginning to include translation and
there is no reason it will break.

And edje file format have version number since a long time, we just
removed old loader code, because it would have increased complexity
and make it impossible to do an alpha release. We just provided
edje_convert that can make an old edje file loadable by old and new
loader at the same time.

Call edje_convert on it, and it will run fine on all version of Edje.
