I've just tried it on Ubuntu Jaunty (Alpha 6), with Python 2.6.1+
(already installed), the wise and clustalw packages installed, Numpy
1.3.0rc1 installed from source, and Biopython CVS installed from
source.  Again, test_Cluster.py and the rest of our tests pass
(ignoring those with additional external dependencies like BioSQL,
fdist, simcoal2).

So, whatever is going wrong on test_Cluster.py seems to be specific to
Windows (XP) and Python 2.6 - and possibly just my Windows development
machine.
