API to let the server know what version it is none

Description Rob Crittenden 2008-02-26 20:29:07 UTC 
We need a way for an XML-RPC client to determine the API version of the server.

There will soon be a ping() function. The recommendation is to pass an argument
in as the version of the client and respond back with the version of the server.

This way if the server can support multiple versions it can respond to match the
client and let it continue.

If there is no match the client will need to be updated.

The generation of this version may happen at continue time, or we may want to
have an ipaversion.py file that we update when the API changes.
