[Bioperl-l] parser for dnadist from the phylip package

[Jason Stajich]

I guess no one has written this wrapper yet.  Still looking for
volunteers to help.  It has basically been Shawn Hoon and myself writing
the PHYLIP wrappers and we've only done the ones we needed.

In the latest (CVS HEAD) bioperl you can also just do
my $stats = Bio::Align::DNAStatistics->new;
my $matrix = $stats->distance(-align => $aln, -method => "Jukes-Cantor");

These are the ones currently implemeted:
 JukesCantor [jc|jukes|jukescantor|jukes-cantor]
 Uncorrected [jcuncor|uncorrected]
 Kimura [k2|k2p|k80|kimura]
 Tamura [t92|tamura|tamura92]
 TajimaNei [tajimanei|tajima\-nei]
