Hi,

I've been playing with a set of modules to make the installation of
bioperl external programes easier.

These are modules with methods to basically download, decompress,
compile and install the program that is meant to be called by bioperl.

For example, for TCoffee, there would be a script in bioperl-run/scripts
like:

install_tcoffee.PLS
-------------------
use strict;
use Bio::Installer::TCoffee;

# Install in the directory where the script is called
use Cwd;
my $destination_install_dir = getcwd;
my $installer = new Bio::Installer::TCoffee(
                                            -destination_install_dir =>
$destination_install_dir);
$installer->download();
$installer->install();

1;
--------------------

that would download, decompress and compile TCoffee to the preferred
directory.

Feedback is welcomed,

Thanks,

    Albert.
