Which tools are you referring to? It's likely those are developed and supported 
by Autodesk, not something we have direct control over - this is something you 
would have to bring up with your Autodesk representative.

If you're specifically referring to the gpuCache node, which displays an 
openGL-only representation of an Alembic cache, then the code does take 
advantage of new APIs in maya 2013 which are not available in maya 2012, so you 
won't be able to compile the plugin as-is for 2012. You can always try 
disabling or replacing any 2013-specific calls to get it to compile, but even 
if you succeed, you'll likely be losing functionality over the maya 2013 version

There are a bunch of bug fixes between 1.05 and 1.00 that you will likely want.

To get AbcImport and AbcExport working you'll need the Alembic library which 
relies on boost and HDF5.
