I'm stuck again with Bio.Restriction under Jython. I've got the
Bio/Restriction/Restriction_Dictionary.py to load under Jython
(just = the Nov 2009 update isn't helping to keep the code
size down), but doing test_Restriction.py hits the JVM limit.

Furthermore, there is a little bit of C code in Bio.Restriction
(which I think we can replace with plain python).
