- went through examples/ and cleaned out excess list() calls

become an externally usable package but still remains within the main sqlalchemy parent package.
in this system, we use kind of an ugly hack to get the noseplugin imported outside of the
"sqlalchemy" package, while still making it available within sqlalchemy for usage by
third party libraries.

such as before_flush(), before_update(),
etc. will now function as they would
within non-event code, regarding consideration
of the PK/FK values used in the lazy-emitted
query.   Previously,
special flags would be established that
would cause lazy loads to load related items
based on the "previous" value of the
parent PK/FK values specifically when called
upon within a flush; the signal to load
in this way is now localized to where the
unit of work actually needs to load that
way.  Note that the UOW does
sometimes load these collections before
the before_update() event is called,
so the usage of "passive_updates" or not
can affect whether or not a collection will
represent the "old" or "new" data, when
accessed within a flush event, based
on when the lazy load was emitted.
The change is backwards incompatible in
the exceedingly small chance that
user event code depended on the old
behavior. [ticket:2350]

    whereby setting a non-None self-referential
    many-to-one relationship to None
    would fail to persist the change if the
    former value was not already loaded.

Also in 0.6.8.
- test/orm/test_sync.py covers orm/sync.py 100%

- move testing.TestBase to test.lib.fixtures
- massive search and replace

all referncing tests to not use globals
- tests that deal with pickle specifically load the fixture classes
from test.lib.pickleable, which gets some more classes added
- removed weird sa05 pickling tests that don't matter
