Hi Andreas,

I wasn't aware of gffread as a separate project.
If it is a successor of cufflink's gffread we can stop shipping gffread
with cufflinks package and add gffread package into Suggested for cufflinks.
I'll wait for some clarifications from the upstream and modify the
cufflinks package accordingly.
