A *bit* lacking?  That's an understatement.

I hadn't used EUtils since I announced the release.  I started to work 
on
your email and ended up having to look at the code to figure out what
to do, rather than figure things out from NCBI's docs.

Which means I need to work on EUtils documentation some more too.
Anyone want to pay me to work on that?  :)

Also, it look a lot of searching to figure out that I can pass in the
accession.version to their eutils server to get the record back.  The
docs imply that only the gi should work.  But it actually can figure
out the identifier type.
