I made the change. Not all modules could easily be changed, but the vast 
majority were fine. Doing this has the added benefit that the docs at 
http://doc.bioperl.org/bioperl-live/ now don't have the inherited 
modules duplicated in the included modules section, which always annoyed 
me and confused the picture.
