[Biopython-dev] Removing the deprecated Bio.WWW modules

[Michiel de Hoon]

Note that Bio.WWW.__init__.py contains some code that is used in other modules. Most (but not all) of these modules are deprecated themselves. For the non-deprecated modules, it's probably easiest to just copy the code from Bio.WWW.__init__.py over to avoid having to import Bio.WWW.
