I would be reluctant to lift the hard requirements to R 2.10.0 for this 
change. Arguably, I doubt anybody is using a current version of RKWard in 
combination with R 2.9, and so we certainly shouldn't worry much about 
breaking some features in this cominbation. But as long as _almost_ everything 
is still working with that setup, and supporting ancient versions does not 
make things too difficult for us, I think we should not add a _hard_ restriction 
about this.

Instead, I would suggest to add the requirement in import_export.pluginmap. 
While that meta-data still isn't interpreted by RKWard, at least that 
documents the fact, internally.

Regards
Thomas
