[Bioperl-l] where to document dependency? AND new SeqIO formats: Bio::SeqIO::strider and Bio::SeqIO::lasergene

[Cook, Malcolm]

Chris Dagdigian,

Convert::Binary::C is now used by new Bio::SeqIO::strider module.  I've
added this to bioperl's ./MakeFile.PL and ./INSTALL.  Methinks it could
be added to Bundle::BioPerl.  Would you like to do that?
