 It would be nice to have some sort of tool to check if a current selected
 folder or list of resources is compatible with another MapGuide Server.

 For example, suppose we are connected to a MGOS 2.2 site and we want to
 migrate this to a MGOS 2.0 site. The check would check for any new
 resource types and versions introduced since MGOS 2.0. If the check finds
 any such resources that match this criteria, they are flagged as
 potentially incompatible resources.

 Likewise, if we a connected to a MGE site and we want to migrate this data
 to an MGOS site. The check would also check for any Feature Sources using
 the commerical FDO providers. The check would flag them (and resources
 referencing them) as potentially incompatible resources.

 This would be a useful tool for flagging any potential problems when
 moving data to an older version of MapGuide or from MGOS to MGE or MGE to
 MGOS
