The code for this looked good when I reviewed it earlier. I will
test it out with some solexa reads from here this week; any reason
not to check the patch and files into CVS? Then I can fire up my
coal-powered revision control system, feed two punch cards into the
mouth of the machine, hope the vacuum tubes don't burn out again,
and check it out locally.
