I'll try them out.  It might be a good idea to include some 'test' 
scripts`, as a demonstration/test of the functionality of the library 
and as a starting point for people to write their own scripts.

Actually, if you want to try to have a go at the basis of the 
seqIOWrite section, that would be great.  I am very busy doing real 
biology right now, and I doubt I will get started soon on that part..
