Our policy (pre-1.0) is that client/server compatibility is always
maintained across one minor version number. For example, 0.34 is
compatible with 0.35.*, no matter which is client and which is server.

(Sometimes the compatibility spreads further than this, but one is the
minimum we guarantee.)

So, Folker Schamel's policy is probably overly strict, though it's
certainly safe :-). Folker, if you had compatibility problems between
two versions that were only one minor version apart, please let us
know. That's a problem.

After 1.0, we will be more conservative of course.
