Our code for 3.1 to 4.1 support effectively has an abstraction layer that works out what routines are appropriate for the OS version and adjusts. It's a pain to support and debug.
This brings up one regret I have -- with CW dying, there's no way for new programmers to get the Object Library for Palm OS (POL). One of the things POL did very well was to hide the API flux; if you used its classes and methods, it would detect the OS version and do the right thing. There's a lot of special knowledge embedded in that code base.
