Subject: 1.8 marshal.c compatible with 1.6?

Hi everybody!

We are currently using ruby 1.6.8 on a number of projects.
Our code depends on the marshal functionality. From what I 've read
in the list, ruby 1.8 provides an optimized marshal implementation.
I wonder if it is possible to use the marshal.c file form the 1.8
distribution to compile a 'custom' 1.6.8 version. I dont want to 
loose time with a backport if it is impossible for some reason.

Any info is really appreciated.
