Re: conversion testing before round-trip testing

hi Dan.

This makes sense to me. I started to do it with the java version[1] -
now out of date - although I didn't have proper graph compare tools to
use so I just compared the number of triples. I guess cwm can do this.

My problem was having a sensible place to put the ones to test against
and the newly generated ones. Just needs a bit of thought probably.
