[bip] Python wrapper for the NCBI C++ Toolkit

[Andrew Straw]

Hi Josh,

I think you could improve the interest and uptake of the project if you
included a 1 sentence blurb at the top of the project webpages. This
sentence should attempt to encapsulate what the software does or is
intended to do. And then a 1 paragraph blurb giving an ever-so-slightly
more detailed idea in, for example, the "Part 1. Overview" section of
the book would be further appreciated.

Also, it's slightly weird that clicking on "The NCBI C++ Toolkit" icon
at the top of the page sends me to http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/, which
tells me nothing about the C++ toolkit.

Still not exactly sure what the high-level mission of the NCBI C++
Toolkit is after several minutes of clicking around on the website,
Andrew
