Change the organization of %registry_register slightly to make it easier
to merge copies of it; added a _SPECIES and a _TYPE section to the hash. Added the subroutine load_registry_from_multiple_dbs(): Arg [1] : Array of hashes, each hash being a set of arguments to load_registry_from_db() (see above). Example : $registry->load_registry_from_multiple_dbs( { '-host' => 'ensembldb.ensembl.org', '-user' => 'anonymous', '-verbose' => '1' }, { '-host' => 'server.example.com', '-user' => 'anonymouse', '-password' => 'cheese', '-verbose' => '1' } ); Description: Will call load_registry_from_db() (see above) multiple times and merge the resulting registries into one, effectively allowing a user to connect to databases on multiple database servers from within one program. If a database is found on more than one server, the first found instance of that database will be used.
