[BioPython] KDTreec missing in biopython 1.21

[Jeffrey Chang]

Hi Jan,

The KDTree module is disabled by default.  It is C++ code, and does not  
compile correctly on many platforms due to a shortcoming in the  
distutils with Python 2.2.  If you need the code, you can enable it by  
following the instructions in the README file.  Thank you for your  
report.

Jeff
