[Bioperl-l] methods, etc. for Bio::SearchIO on exonerate output

[Jason Stajich]

I've already talked to Guy about some of this and I assume fixes will  
be part of the next release, but it can't hurt to have more people  
requesting.  The main problem right now is reverse strand hits in GFF  
output are still screwed up even if you provide the -- 
forwardcoordinates option.

If someone wanted to write/donate a VULGAR to GFF subroutine (okay  
VULGAR to a list of Bio::Search::HSP::GenericHSP).  We can also  
reconstruct everything needed from that, I gave a stab at it once,  
but there was something missing (or maybe it was pre -- 
forwardcoordinates option).
