[Bioperl-l] GFF method in Bio::SeqFeatureI

Checked in Bio::Tools::GFF that implements Bio::SeqAnalysisParserI and 
has the method write_feature. It is un-documented, and the GFF2 parser 
can't parse the GFF2 output it generates. I just coppied code from 
Generic & SeqFeatureI. I think the t/GFF.t needs completely re-writing 
to be a propper test-harness program.

Somebody take this off my hands before nasty things happen!
