[BioPython] Phylogenetics trees

[Rick Ree]

Hi folks.  I've been away for 2 months and have just seen this series of
posts.  Mavric's code is available for perusal and re-use, and I'd be
happy if it could benefit BioPython in some way.  Due to time constraints
I haven't been able to get involved with BioPython as much as I'd like to. 
Please tell me how I might contribute the code to BioPython, and if this
would be useful.  A fair chunk of it, esp. the node class, is documented
with comments.
