[BioPython] Unigene flat file parser

[Michiel Jan Laurens de Hoon]

Hi everybody,

[If you're also on biopython-dev, you've already received this post. 
Sorry for the cross-post.]

Sean Davis of NIH has written a parser for the Unigene flat file format 
described here:

ftp://ftp.ncbi.nih.gov/repository/UniGene/README

under the Hs.data section.

A natural place to include this in Biopython would be under Bio/UniGene.

However, there is some code already under Bio/Unigene, but I couldn't 
find documentation for it and it hasn't been updated in more than two 
years, so it may be some dead code sitting around. If so, we may as well 
remove this code and put Sean's code there.

So just to make sure that this wouldn't harm somebody's work:

Is anybody using the current Bio/UniGene code?

Thanks,

--Michiel.
