I have ports and/or updates for p5-bioperl-devel and p5-bioperl-run
(been using them for a while now, updating for 1.5.1), tidying up one
for exonerate (making sure it passes everything w/ assertions
enabled), fasta3 (update), and first drafts for mdust and seg
(pains-in-the-ass because of how the src files are made available on
the web...).

I have an almost working -ext, except that it was splatting it's libs
in odd places and I was in a hurry, so I just put them where they
belonged by hand.

Depending on how stable the location of the "release candidate" is for
wise 2.2.3-rc7 (in other words, if Ewan doesn't object), I'll roll up
a wise-devel port to support p5-bioperl-run.

I'll send all of this in as PR's and am happy to maintain them as
necessary.

I'm happy to build others if folks suggest them and as time allows.
