MySQL 5 to MySQL 4

I'm currently running ISPconfig with PHP5 and MySQL 5. I'm having issues with X-cart as MySQL5 isn't supported in the version I have, and it's a little out of my league to re-purchase the software just so I can upgrade and use MySQL 5. So, I was wondering how I can switch to MySQL 4 and keep all of my databases currently the way they are, and without losing any information.

I'm running Fedora Core 5.

Use the mysqldump tool to dump 4 compatible sql files?

Well, the table structures of my current databases shouldn't change between MySQL 5 and MySQL 4 because it's tables such as phpBB, X-cart, and a few other databases I've created personally. I know how to dump the tables and all, but how would I go from MySQL 5 to MySQL 4 without screwing up my current setup with ISPconfig?
