[Bioperl-l] new Bio::Installer modules in bioperl-run

[Todd Harris]

Hi Albert - 

This would be a nice convenience.

Do these handle the (potentially) many system-dependent issues as well?  Or
can you just generically pass configure/make/test/install paramaters to the
installer object? Also, a superclass would be nice that creates an installer
factory for those wishing to build lots of things from a single script.
