Jonas,

Can you be more specific please. You want to be able to write out a 
*.sch file to a format version that is understandable by an earlier 
version of eeschema than the version which is doing the writing?

And you want to do this using a version of eeschema which has put 
features into the file that the older eeschema never understood?

I am wanting to understand, and I am probably not alone. Perhaps I do 
not understand.
