The FreeBSD port is out of date now, so I commented that section out
and replaced it with a section on using easy_install. This also
reminded me that I needed to update the version on the Python
Package Index. I added a note to the release details to do this; oh
man, another step.

Peter, if you have an account on pypi, let me know your login and I
can add you as an owner for Biopython.

Brad
