Re: Release 7.0.1

[David Sugar]

I probably should have started it as a rc branch, especially given the large
number of changes that ended up going in already, but I made one now.

I did not want to change api/interfaces in 7.0.1, but yes, we should at least
check openssl/gnutls return codes, and the exception stuff does need to be
cleaned up and become consistent with current practices.  This is especially
true in persist.

It also doesn't have to be by next weekend, that was in case I did not hear
back from anyone.
