[Bioperl-l] EUtilities overhaul started

To anyone using Bio::DB::EUilities,

I am in the midst of a major overhaul to the various EUtilities tools  
and to Bio::DB::GenericWebDBI (the latter which I am forming into  
more or less a test bed for other database interfaces).  I'm about  
80% done at this point, and will likely start committing changes this  
coming week.

The overall interface will change (something I had warned about in  
the Bio::DB::EUtilities POD) but I am hoping it will be more  
intuitive and easier to use in the long run.  I'll describe the  
overall redesign and use in an upcoming HOWTO (as recommended by  
Brian a while back).

If anyone has any suggestions/ideas/flames, please let me know!

Cheers!

chris
