Can we just say the bioperl-db HAS to run bioperl 1.1+ or does that just
get us into trouble?

I think the back port is the second option rather than branchin bioperl-db
again and trying to have people remember to check in the fix in both
places.  I guess adding a method is less API breaking than removing one so
back porting each_Location would be acceptable.  Are there other things?

I can do it this weekend.
