Hi all,

I was responsible for a number of fixes on the main branch (which
didn't make it into the 0.6 release) which were similar to Hilmar's in
their aim:

 Handling rarer locations (123^124) for reading and writing
 Handling badly wrapped "" within qualifiers
 Handling locations with < and > for reading and writing
 Fixed rejection of 1 bp long features on the complement
 Subspecies handling for EMBL format fixed (to a degree)

I was concentrating on getting EMBL parsing to work for us as quickly
as possible, so I neglected Genbank support due to lack of
time. Likewise, I've had no time to move the fixes to the 0.6
release. (I'm not familiar with CVS, especially on multiple branches).

Anyway, I'll be happy to help merge the two sets.

Keith
