Synonym file

[Sue Rhee]

I am not sure if I would agree with this. I think as soon as the OBO
format and Dag-Edit is stablized (I would say another 2-4 weeks or so
since GO recently went OBO), we should switch. Two reasons: 1. OBO
supports the synonym type that we absolutely will depend on. 2. Dag-Edit
enhancements will probably focus on the OBO format.
