Cannot run with Sphinx 0.9.9-rc2 or Sphinx from trunk

[ngocdaothanh]

When running with Sphinx 0.9.9-rc2 or Sphinx from trunk, error like {error, {bad_version, 16777216}} is produced by giza_request:verify_version/1.

Should this verification be disabled? Instead, the list of Sphinx versions that Giza is compatible with is documented in README?

What about if verification could be turned off? I'd rather do that than try to document the various compatible versions.

It is better if Sphinx itself returns the correct SPHINX_MAJOR_PROTO. Has anyone report this issue to Sphinx developers?

Anyway for the time being, it is a great help to turn the verification off by default. I think there are a lot of people who just don't use 0.9.9-rc2 or/and giza because they are no compatible with each other, or have to manually edit giza_request.erl to turn off the verification themselves.
