Ugly perhaps, but I'll look anyway :-)

I see you don't use needle because it creates gapped alignments, but
that can be fixed with a sufficiently high gap penalty (just to see if
it works - it won't be fast).

We also have word-based matching methods in EMBOSS but they would not
allow mismatches. I will play with alternatives and see what works best.
Some word-based seed should allow for a faster solution.

The provisional EMBOSS name for a quality filter and adaptor removal
application is "quaffle"
