Brian, Jay,

I think it would be nice to have the tutorial prominently displayed somehow
(Jay's suggestion), with a link provided via the tutorials page.  Hopefully
this will help with the bioperl newbies.

Jay, looks like there are still some weird formatting issues with the
bptutorial wiki page, something which I ran into before when getting the
Install docs up for Windows and UNIX (the mediawiki setup thinks 2 or more
spaces preceding a line denotes code for some reason).  Not much you can do
in these cases except remove the extra spaces in those spots.  Looking good
though!  

Chris
