[Bioperl-l] SQLite for BioPerl indexing

Hi All, 

My AnyDBM_File hack to allow ActiveState a workaround
for DB_File (see http://lists.open-bio.org/pipermail/bioperl-l/2009-September/031309.html)
turned into a "BioPerl Autumn of Code" project. 
Bio::DB::SQLite_File is a nearly complete emulation of DB_File, 
down to the access functions (get(), put(), del(), seq()) and 
user-provided comparision functions.

If you're interested, please see
http://www.bioperl.org/wiki/HOWTO:SQLite_for_BioPerl_indexing
for exhausting discussion and download. I would REALLY 
appreciate a core dev/power user or two checking out the 
anydbm-branch branch and performing a straight build sequence,
and letting me know how it goes. See the wiki for those paths.

Thanks--
MAJ
