JLD doesn’t seem to work with 0.7/1.0. I have a bunch of files in the original `.jld` format. Without rolling back to an older Julia installation, is there a way to load them?

My understanding is that JLD will no longer be developed, so probably not?

Maybe best to write a 2-line v0.6.4 script that loads JLD files and stores them as JLD2. I am guessing for most cases this would work without problems.
