No, I don't mean have the user check the version, but rather have the Gramps
program do it even if the user forgets.

So much better to have Gramps say "bsddb.db.DBError: (-30971,
"DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch -- Program
version 4.7 doesn't match environment version 4.5")" and leave the database
untouched rather than the user having to try to try to find out how to
recover a corrupt database. (See http://bugs.python.org/issue8504#msg104007
"If you try to use an old format with a new library without updating, you
should get a CLEAR error message")

(Actually, I suspect that the python version doesn't have anything to do
with it, it is the bdsb version that matters, just that this may change when
you change python version or for other reasons).
