The calibre plugin is not a different program. It is a different startup procedure inside the same program:

if not __name__ == "__main__":
	from calibre.customize import FileTypePlugin

	class MobiDeDRM(FileTypePlugin):

		name                = 'MobiDeDRM' # Name of the plugin
		description         = 'Removes DRM from secure Mobi files'
		supported_platforms = ['linux', 'osx', 'windows'] # Platforms this plugin will run on
		author              = 'The Dark Reverser' # The author of this plugin
		version             = (0, 0, 7)   # The version number of this plugin
		file_types          = set(['prc','mobi','awz']) # The file types that this plugin will be applied to
		on_import           = True # Run this plugin during the import

	
		def run(self, path_to_ebook):
			of = self.temporary_file('.mobi')
			PID = self.site_customization
			data_file = file(path_to_ebook, 'rb').read()
			ar = PID.split(',')
			for i in ar:
				try:
					file(of.name, 'wb').write(DrmStripper(data_file, i).getResult())
				except DrmException:
					# Hm, we should display an error dialog here.
					# Dunno how though.
					# Ignore the dirty hack behind the curtain.
#					strexcept = 'echo exception: %s > /dev/tty' % e
#					subprocess.call(strexcept,shell=True)
					print i + ": not PID for book"
				else:
					return of.name

		def customization_help(self, gui=False):
			return 'Enter PID (separate multiple PIDs with comma)'

if __name__ == "__main__":
	print "MobiDeDrm v0.07. Copyright (c) 2008 The Dark Reverser"
	if len(sys.argv)<4:
		print "Removes protection from Mobipocket books"
		print "Usage:"
		print "  mobidedrm infile.mobi outfile.mobi PID"
	else:  
		infile = sys.argv[1]
		outfile = sys.argv[2]
		pid = sys.argv[3]
		data_file = file(infile, 'rb').read()
		try:
			file(outfile, 'wb').write(DrmStripper(data_file, pid).getResult())
		except DrmException, e:
			print "Error: %s" %

Question is: how much work would it be to patch the startup code into the older versions.
