[ensembl-dev] Homology REST API

[Kieron Taylor]

Dear André,

After some internal discussion and hasty patching, we have managed to 
include your request in release 77, coming in the next few weeks. Please 
let us know if it misbehaves, and otherwise enjoy the taxon ids in your 
homology results.

Regards,

Kieron
