(with one small bugfix in bgen/bgen/scantools.py)
This replaces string module functions with string methods
for the stuff in the Tools directory. Several uses of
string.letters etc. are still remaining.
(Yes, this is a new feature right before the 2.1 release. No, I can't
imagine this would seriously break anybody's code. In fact, most
users of this script are probably *happy* to see this addition.)
