From what I know it's impossible without touching the source.

Yes, I think you are right.

I am not able to trace this particular change right now
(http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.2/static/release.html) While you are
right that these changes should be perhaps better documented,
such comparisions were a bad thing to do in the first place (I've learned
my lesson while upgrading from I think 7.1b3 to 7.1.3). Unfortunately I
see no other option than fixing them in your application.
