I think your first roadblock would be the .info files - the .info needs to be called 'modulename.info', and you won't be able to enable it if it's not syntactically correct for your version of Drupal. However, it would be quite possible to release a module package with both a D6 and D7 module. Then these could share include files if necessary. That is, you could probably release a folder structure / package along the lines of: mymodule/ includes/shared.inc mymodule_d6.module mymodule_d6.info mymodule_d7.module mymodule_d7.info Where 'includes/shared.inc' would include logic shared between the two different modules. Both modules would show up on the 'Modules' page, but only the one corresponding to the correct version of Drupal could be enabled.

There are a couple of large software projects that are designed to install together with Drupal (CiviCRM is one of them). Typically, a project like this distributes a Drupal module that handles the embedding of the project inside of a Drupal install.
Is it even possible for a project like this to distribute either:
1. Both a Drupal 6 *and* a Drupal 7 module (i.e., will Drupal look at the .info files and ignore the "wrong" version), or 2. A single Drupal module that keeps its Drupal-version specific features (changed, new or dropped API calls, hooks with incompatible call signatures, etc.) in .inc files and loads them dynamically?
This is not "the done thing", and the module upgrade instructions in the handbook show it would be pretty daunting to do for anything but a trivial module. But is it even possible?
