[BioRuby] samtools-ruby

Hi,

> What I have forgotten to do?

Now, you are at the point I reached yesterday and
I don't think you have forgotten anything.

 From yesterday's mail:
>   1) Failure:

You could look at test/test_bio-samtools.rb
$ cat test/test_bio-samtools.rb
require 'helper'

class TestBioSamtools < Test::Unit::TestCase
   should "probably rename this file and start testing for real" do
     flunk "hey buddy, you should probably rename this file and start  
testing for real"
   end
end

and guess what it means.

My guess is that this is test not implemented yet.
So, this error does not tell if the library function well or can not  
used at all.
You might just try what you wanted to do and see if it works.

My view is the opposite.
Since it potentially has many bugs and changes rapidly, bundled  
shipping is ineffective.
With the lack of test code, we cannot even tell which is a good  
working version.
