Log message for revision 29386:
  Collector #1699:  typo in README.txt.
  
  Also:  s/3.3/3.4/g, since the trunk represents 3.4 development now.
  s/ZODB3/ZODB/g, since we stopped calling the module ZODB3 when we
  moved from CVS to SVN, and ZODB4 isn't talked about anywhere anymore.
  Updated recommended Python version to 2.3.5.
