[BioRuby] participation in GSoC 2010

[Kazuhiro Hayashi]

Hi,

Thank you so much for the explanation.

First of all, I will test the current codes of BioRuby with Ruby 1.9.2
in order to detect the classes witch don't work.
Then, I will try to find the ways to support 1.8 and 1.9 without
'if-then' statements, referring to other libraries.
If you know the appropriate libraries, please tell me them (rails is
the best example?).
