Sorry I haven't merged the transaction stuff to trunk yet.

While doing a review, I realize that one downside to doing this merge is
that it will kill Python 2.4 and 2.5 compatibility.  I think this is a
reasonable thing, given that Python 2.5 will no longer get any
maintenance as of today or so, and Python 2.4 hasn't gotten any for a
long time, and folks who need a 2.4/2.5 compat version can always use an
older version.

That said, before I go ahead and do this merge, is there anyone who
believes we should continue to support 2.4 and 2.5 in the transaction
package?  If so, for how long?
