Making it work on 1.5 and earlier is not actually so simple, because of the way the Dalvik class loader works on those versions. The approach the library uses a lot for being able to call newer functions (having the calls in a separate class that is only used if running on the appropriate version) breaks prior to 1.6 because Dalvik will fail loading the app's dex file if it has any such references.
Honestly I don't think messing with 1.5 or earlier is at all worth the time.
