Shortest anwer is: you don't. A longer one is: hope to find some friend that never upgraded since 1.5.5 and hope he didn't delete the downloaded packages.
The most correct one, though, is probably: you should compile the DLL itself (probably taken from the CVS..?) and re-compile also all the needed packages from sources (you can use the latest version of each package probably, but must compile it with the correct DLL as changes are usually backward-compatible but not forward-compatibile). Of course "avoiding" to need an old version is the fastest way, and also the only way to get a system with no known bugs...
