Great. I've just committed very basic EMBL output support to our main
branch on git. This is a stepping stone, deliberately a partial solution only
for now, to make sure the basics seem to work (dealing with the sequence
and identifiers, but nothing about the detailed annotation). In particular,
I have deliberately not implemented feature support (yet - the existing
code for writing a GenBank feature table will need to be tweaked to
cover EMBL feature tables as well).

I realise that in the current state this isn't going to be especially useful
for you, but if you can have a look anyway and let me know if there is
anything amiss that would be helpful. e.g. Make sure your favourite
tools like the EMBL files Biopython produces. What do you use?
Artemis?

You could send me one off list if you like - but its probably unnecessary
for now.
