[BioPython] genbank parser returns start position of the location decreased by one

[Martin MOKREJŠ]

Hi Michiel,
  I thought this might be the "feature" of this, but imagine you just parse
genbank data and display on the web web. I don't believe anybode would expect
that the data fetched through biopython differ from those visible on the NCBI
web. Is this "feature" at least consistent with bioperl's behavior?
