[BioPython] Biopython to migrate to Subversion

[Chris Lasher]

I have a correction to make. Again, this only affects those of you
whom obtain your Biopython code via CVS.

The Subversion server runs through SSH, *not* through WebDAV, and so
is accessed in the same way that the CVS repository is now. If you can
access the CVS repository now, you can access Subversion repository
once we implement it. Therefore, the only case of need for legacy
support for Subversion is if you cannot get Subversion installed. If
this is the case, please notify me as soon as possible.

Thanks,
