I've been burning the midnight oil trying to get a bunch of new things checked
in. Mainly, this is the SearchIO-based replacement for Bio::Tools::Blast.
There's some other dependent stuff in Bio::Tools:: and Bio::Root:: as well
(I need to re-tool to use the new Root.pm - a step in the right direction).


It's actually nearly ready to go, and I'm hoping to get the commits in before
I leave on holiday break next week (the old `commit and run' trick). This
should give plenty of time to resolve any issues that arise before O'Reilly.

It's good to see some action here, after my lack thereof. Early this year
I was prepping my structure modules (as discussed in my Bioperl-2000 poster,
if you can remember :) for contribution, when I decided that my Bio::Tools::Blast
clean-up project should be done first before I added anything new. This
was probably for the better as it looks like Kris has done some good work.
It will be interesting to compare notes.
