[Biopython] Bio.PDB and Bio.SeqIO.PdbIO

Hi Tiago,

The header records are very chaotic... some of them are well documented and
populated by programs, e.g. SEQRES, HELIX, SHEET, etc. These would be easy
to add to the parser (check the parse_pdb_header functions in Bio.PDB) but
they are not there at the moment.

Cheers,

João
