 Fixed in SVN:
 - Feature:  (MBaker)    Options for cell caching using Igbinary and SQLite/SQlite3.
+- Feature:  (MBaker)    Additional row iterator options: allow a start row to be defined in the constructor; seek(), and prev() methods added.
 - General:  (MBaker)    Fix to build to ensure that Examples are included with the documentation
 - General:  (MBaker)    Reduce cell caching overhead using dirty flag to ensure that cells are only rewritten to the cache if they have actually been changed
 - General:  (MBaker)    Improved memory usage in CSV Writer
