Bioperl: BLAST.pm

[Steven E. Brenner]

I certainly agree with this as well.  I think that just putting all of
these modules in a public place (even if they aren't integrated or related
to each other or Bioperl) would have immense value.

The only difficulty is a naming scheme.  Perhaps Blast_Ryan.pm, and
Blast_Dagdigian.pm, etc.?   

Once the existing code is "out there," we could try looking at it and
think about combining the best aspects to make an "official bioperl"
module.
