There is also Thomas Mailund's Newick Tree module, which provides
yet another perspective on trees, and various things you can do with
them (his visitor stuff is cool once you figure it out). If you haven't
looked it this, it might be worth a play as well for ideas. I've actually
used this more than Bio.Nexus as it predates it ;)
