[Bioperl-l] Module to draw transmembrane protein topology

[Tim Nugent]

Labeling of inside/outside and membrane is already possible via 
-inside_label, -outside_label and -membrane_label tags, defaults are 
intracellular, extracellular and plasma membrane.

Was definitely going to add an input/parser for MEMSAT, developed here 
at UCL, and probably a few other popular TM predictors too, e.g. 
PHOBIUS, TMHMM etc. Can already accept topology in the string format 
used by OPM (http://opm.phar.umich.edu/).
