It is an debate point. GD dependancy is not as great as the TK dependency
the rest of -gui has, and is more "server side" (argument for putting it
into bioperl-live). But... splitting things up is good otherwise we just
have a behmouth of a system ---- but it is relatively well structured
directory-wise.


Of course, we let Lincoln check in DB::GFF because we like him and wanted
him to contribute so....


Oh Vey. I don't know.


I vote marginally for putting it into bioperl-live
