[BioPython] error in installing Biopython

I had the same problem over a week ago and no one said to install  
flex. In the mean time two more people have had the SAME problem. In  
another posting (Compiling Bio.PDB.mmCIF.MMCIFlex on Windows), you  
said it would be a lot of work to rewrite it without flex. So, I  
think the solution would be to fix either setup.py to check for this  
(such as a script that returns -1 if the flex library isn't found -  
similar to autoconfig) or give an option in setup.py to not build  
Bio.PDB.mmCIF.MMCIFlex (or what ever depends on it).
