[Bioperl-l] Bio::Ext::Align?

[Fields, Christopher J]

A patch is fine.  Also, it might be worth talking to the WUSTL group on merging those changes from their fork in (fairly easy to do).

At some point, if this code looks as if it needs to exist independently of bioperl-ext we can create a new repo for it.  I think it will see more use that way.
