Yes, many implementations and applications of RSA uses a fixed exponent 
- very often 65537 (F4). Usually that is a good decision and no problem 
- perhaps except for interoperability.

And yes, interoperability is often very hard when implementing crypto 
stuff. IMHO an important criteria when selecting a crypto library is 
having examples / proof of how it interoperates with other implementations.

It is not clear to me exactly what you are asking for, so I can't answer 
that directly - I hope someone else can do that.
