There's nothing that will work across browser versions. In specific
post-134 versions you can read the reference directly from the API
internal obfuscated variable.

E.g. in v2.136d you can write
        var ov = new GOverviewMapControl();
        map.addControl(ov);

        // Then wait for the external module to load

        var ovmap = ov.Aa;
        ovmap.setMapType(G_SATELLITE_MAP);

But for each release you'd have to look up the new obfuscated name of
the variable, and replace "Aa".

Or you could lock into v134d and use .getOverviewMap().
