make historical connection cache story a bit more predictable: you set a total number of historical connections, not one per serial.  Also remove "historical future" connections--I should have seen seen/remembered lastTransaction.  Now attempts to create historical future connections raise an error, as they should.

incrementally remove some version support (this time from connection and DB); add support for historical read-only connections.

Wrap the zope testrunner for ZODB in something that can be invoked using "setup.py test".  The ultimate result is:

  Ran 2510 tests in 629.115s

  OK

Although when I do:

  python bootstrap.py
  bin/buildout
  bin/test

I get:

  Ran 2821 tests with 0 failures and 0 errors in 6 minutes 55.513 seconds.

I'm not entirely sure how to account for the difference in # of tests yet.

Remove the transaction package; we now have a setuptools install_requires dependency that must be satisfied to get it.

Setup.py now no longer works without setuptools installed.
