New issue 91 by marecki: 0.7-0.8 compatibility (incl. testing)
http://code.google.com/p/pygr/issues/detail?id=91

It appears reasonable for us to restore, then maintain compatibility
between Pygr 0.7 and 0.8. The following tasks have been recognised as
necessary to restore such compatibility:
  - add compatibility code to 0.8 which would allow it to read 0.7
annotation pickles;
  - release a new Pygr-0.7 version which would allow it to read 0.8
pickles, as well as to talk to 0.8 XML-RPC servers. Note that at this
point it isn't clear annotation pickles are the only ones to have changed
so we should perform appropriate tests (see below) before such a release
is issued.

Moreover, in order to make sure no incompatibilities other than XML-RPC
and annotation pickles exist, we should set up cross-version tests. This
would involve the following:
  - deciding whether this code should be standalone or a part of our
testing framework;
  - preparing appropriate pickles (sequences, annotations, aligmnents) for
both versions;
  - setting up a 0.7 XML-RPC server and telling the testing code, via
appropriate configuration keywords, which such a server (or servers) can
be found.
