[BioPython] PopGen module for Biopython?

[Ralph Haygood]

Marc,

To me, Bio.Systematics sounds like phylogeny estimation, which my
module doesn't do at all, and which would deserve its own package(s).
I think the name of my package needs to indicate population genetics,
like BioPerl's Bio::PopGen.  I had in mind that some people might
prefer Bio.PopulationGenetics to Bio.PopGen, which would be fine with
me if there were majority support for it.
