[BioPython] Updates to Biopython Installation Instructions

[mxue at rdg.boehringer-ingelheim.com]

Hello Brad,

Thanks for your Installation Instruction and I am trying to install
Biopython following the Instruction. I have no root right and have installed
Python2.2 with --prefix option at dir other than /usr/local. But I have
trouble to install mxTextTools and Numerical Python since the Installation
didn't have the ./configure step. What can I do?

Hey all;
The crusade for increased up-to-date documentation continues...

I have updated and expanded the installation instructions for Biopython 
and separated it out from the main Tutorial documentation. Maintaining 
something as massive as the Tutorial is quite time consuming and 
difficult mentally (ugh, so much to fix), so hopefully keeping things 
separate will make it easier to keep everything up to date.

The Installation instructions now start from the very beginning 
(installing Python itself) and deal with installing Biopython 
dependencies and other good things like that. They are linked to from 
the Download site and available in pdf and html from:

http://www.biopython.org/Download/Installation.pdf
http://www.biopython.org/Download/Installation.html

Comments, corrections and other feedback are appreciated as always.

Brad
