I currently have a mechanism to skip tests.  I simply went through all
the tests I was skipping to check whether this is needed or whether the
tests might run now.  Since this is the last remaining test in this
category my effort was worth doing it and I can easily cope with the
situation.  I'm happy that I was ringing a bell at your side to enable
BioPython dealing with new samtools in the future.

Thanks for your effort

     Andreas.
