Do you mean placing all of them into a separate Util distribution? I
think it makes more sense to keep them close to what they deal with.

If it's just moving them all into Bio::Utils:: may be a good idea. At
the moment there's not much of a model for their naming. I found these
ones (am I missing anything that does not have Utils on the name?)

Bio/Coordinate/Utils.pm
Bio/SeqUtils.pm
Bio/Search/SearchUtils.pm
Bio/Search/BlastUtils.pm
Bio/Search/Tiling/MapTileUtils.pm

Also, only the last one seems to export anything.
