I'm not sure that I see a conflict. Are you referring to the use of generic
Dictionary in IndexInput in 2.9.4g? That's the only point where I could see
a possible problem, but generic dictionaries are supported on WP7, so it
should be fine.

In which case, the two should merge and compile correctly.

Thanks,
Troy
