I've fixed the GA unit tests, generally by explicit use
of string comparison when working with sequence
objects.

In the case of test_GAQueens.py, this required me
to "correct" the "abuse" of the alphabet object (letters
was a list of integers, not a string) and thus indirectly
the way the MutableSeq was being created. This has
always struck me as a very odd example - but should
perhaps be kept in mind for more complex sequence
like objects (e.g. sequences with 3-letter protein codes).
