[BioPython] Installation problem

Yup, Python 2.2 was officially released after the last release came out
and I've been too slacking to make a new installer.

With python, compiled code will only work with the version it was
compiled for. So even if you could somehow trick the installer into
working for 2.2, things wouldn't be too happy afterwards.

Well, there wasn't one, but I just made one :-). You can download it from
the biopython Download page. Let me know if there are any problems!
