Gorm: data.classes -- slight format change

All,

Previously Gorm would save any and all methods which exist on FirstResponder to
the data.classes file.   As of 0.8.7, however, this has changed.   The
FirstResponder entry will only contain those methods which the user has added
explicitly to FirstResponder or to another class (which automatically adds to
FirstResponder).   If there are no additional methods, the entry will not be
added.

There are a few reasons for this change:

1) It's more efficient.
2) It's closer to how IB does it.
3) It allows .gorm files which are older to reflect changes to
ClassInformation.plist when methods are added to FirstResponder there when they
are loaded.
4) It is the best possible fix to bug#11534.

Impacts:

The only impact of this change is that Gorm-0.8.0 may not be able to fully edit
files which are created with Gorm-0.8.7 without manually editing the
data.classes file (not recommended).   i.e. no "forward" compatibility.

There is -=NO=-, I repeat, -=NO=- impact to the use of these .gorm files in
applications since the data.classes file is only used when Gorm.app edits them.
  

Please let me know of any problems, questions, etc.

I will write the list with further updates, if necessary.

Thanks, GJC
