you're right, but with some #ifdefs, at least the source can be compatible with 
both versions. building from source will then always work. regarding binaries 
and deken packages, you would have to do it twice, though. Maybe just give a 
little hint in the name? (>= Pd.047 resp. < Pd 0.47). Anyway, if you need 
testing on Windows (for both versions of Pd), count me in!

to simply check the version and call that iem color function
 
I don't think so ; the interface of some functions has changed, so you need to 
be aware of the version at compilation time, and have to use this version at 
runtime. So I don't think you can build an external that would be compatible 
for both versions.

Thanks ! and thanks to Dan too, pointing me directly to the right direction 
!But I realize that if I fix mknob for latest Pd it will become incompatible 
with older ones…I believe the changes handle saving and loading based on the 
compatibility mode, so you should be able to simply check the version and call 
that iem color function in versions of pd less than 0.48.
