Taxonomic Search Engine - Now with GenBank

[Roderic D. M. Page]

This is next on the to do list. The site already makes extensive use
of SOAP to talk to two of the source databases, I just need to tidy
up the code a bit in preparation for making it a SOAP server. There
are also performance issues to address, for which caching might help.

Regards

Rod
