[Biopython-dev] Updating the installation instructions

As Nick Matzke has pointed out,
http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/install/Installation.html and
http://biopython.org/DIST/docs/install/Installation.pdf are somewhat
out of date.

I've updated the source LaTeX file in CVS to cover python 2.5 being
the latest stable python, mxTextTools is now optional (but 2.0 is
preferred over 3.0), and removed the bits about the "Classic" Mac (pre
OS X).

http://cvs.biopython.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs/viewcvs.cgi/biopython/Doc/install/Installation.tex?cvsroot=biopython

The reportlab instructions probably need updating too - although we
should double check if everything is happy with ReportLab 2 as part of
this.

If anyone wants to skim over the revised version and look for anything
I've missed or other improvements that would be great.

Peter
