[Bioperl-l] release candidate 4 (hopefully the last!), release information

[Jason Stajich]

Wow thank you!  and thank goodness for boring and tedious people... ;-)

I'll sync them to the branch I just made.

To do this I'll check out the branch and merge the changes.  So  
everyone can see how it is done:
$ cvs -d:ext:.... -r bioperl-branch-1-5-1 -d bioperl-1.5.1-branch  
bioperl
$ cd bioperl-1.5.1-branch
$ cvs update -j HEAD
$ cvs commit -m "merged changes from HEAD to 1.5.1 branch"

And so on for bioperl-run and bioperl-ext.
