Defrag - Can You Copy XP's Defrag Files Across

Just a thought, but since people with dual-boot seem to be finding that XP's
defragger can cope with Vista formatted disks I wondered if you could copy
XP's defragger across to Vista.
Presume it would need to be isolated in its own directory together with the
XP versions of the appropriate DLL files - but subject to that could it be
made to work and restore some form of progress indication (the visible colour
bars would be enough for this)?.
If so, any idea what files to copy?
