[Bioperl-l] A few burps with 1.0a install on redhat 7.2

[Jason Stajich]

Thanks for taking it for a test drive - do you have any scripts that use
bioperl that hopefully still work without too much noise?

The subject() to hit() transition is the most likely to cause noise will
add a note about any hicups transitioning from 0.7 to 1.0 in the README.

Yeah - I've had the same trouble with XML::Writer on RH7.2 - need to bug
the author about this - you can just do a make install anyways and it will
run fine for what I've seen.  I will add a note about XML::Writer in the
PLATFORMS file.

crap - I did remove UnivAlign but I must have forgotten to remove the
test.
mental not to test on complete bioperl virgin system before release.

I think Mark rm-ed it because the biosql schema changed.  Hmmm. will check
on that.
