[DAS2] DAS/2 writeback

[Allen Day]

Hi Gregg,

Sounds like it was a bad idea for me to make a chimeric data source -- I
don't want to debug bugs related to this, as it is really a misapplication
of the vsource in the first place.

Which would you prefer to have -- human or yeast?  I will zap the segments
and features for the one you don't want, and remove the vsource from
das.biopackages.net
