[BioC] bovine Annotation package(s)

[Marc Carlson]

Hi Nathan,

What Sean says is true.  However, I have not yet made a bovine.db0 
database, so it is not yet possible to make .db annotation packages for 
bovines.  However, if you would be willing to work with me a little bit, 
I would be willing to look into it.  Lets take this off line and explore 
it a little bit.  In the meantime part of the reason that AnnBuilder is 
still alive is because of odd corner cases like this one where someone 
needs support for an unusual organism.  So you should be able to use 
AnnBuilder in the interim.
