Ewan deserves praise for a lot of good work in producing this
integrated distribution. There are some documentation changes and
additions that I'm still working into the distribution, but it is
certainly ready for use & testing right now. 

It includes the new version of my Blast.pm package (0.07), which from now
on will be bundled as part of this central package. I'm also
working on some enhancements to the bio.perl.org web site and revving
up the Bio::Struct project. So stay tuned...
