[BioRuby] GSoC speciation/duplication inference question

Hi,

I think between the list response and conversations with my mentor, I would probably go with 
Bio::Algorithm::SDI, with the files in lib/bio/util/phylogeny/SDI/

I can definitely see the others as good possibilities, though. If anyone objects to this naming, please let me know so I can change it.

Thanks,

I've been developing in the lib/bio/util directory, but I want to make sure that's the place you all would prefer for the module. Any suggestions or thoughts?
