Description

I deleted a build directory in an old project, and tried to rebuild with a new pyoxidizer, and it broke because pyembed was old and didnt match.

Perhaps minor versions of pyoxidizer should require pyembed from prior minor versions in old projects are re-created.

Or some other way to prevent the user watching a full build occur only to see it fail near the end.

Research direction

Reproduce the rebuild with an old project and a newer PyOxidizer, using the generated build/target/.../pyoxidizer/data.rs path and the reported pyembed compilation errors as the starting point. Determine how the old pyembed and new generated data.rs become incompatible; done means the mismatch is detected or avoided before the full build reaches compilation.
