Override interface mappings and creata a generic entity version filter

Introduction

For one of my customers I needed to have some kind of versioning for a whole bunch of entities on my database. Since I use my very own MvcExtensions framework, I wanted to include a functionality which would automatically filter all entities based on this interface :

    public interface IVersionAware
    {
        string Version { get; set; }
    }

In short, I only want to get the entities of the current version through my repository. This interface would then automaticly imply that all data could be filtered by setting a version filter.

I took me quite some time, but spending a weekend at the Dutch coast cleared my mind a bit, and after the weekend I managed to get it working...
