Implement an idea by Paul Rubin:
Change pickling format for bools to use a backwards compatible encoding. This means you can pickle True or False on Python 2.3 and Python 2.2 or before will read it back as 1 or 0. The code used for pickling bools before would create pickles that could not be read in previous Python versions.
