I'm pretty sure I have some or all of those setup on at least one
of my test machines, so with a little more work together we
can try to resolve those (which may mean updating the docs).

A few more details here would be very good - what versions of
the tools did you have and what error did the tests give?

(I just fixed a warning from new options added in BLAST
2.2.28+ committed yesterday)

Thanks Ben - some of the modules with zero or low coverage
are deprecated so don't worry me - others though probably
do need to be looked at.

Would anyone like to make a priority list? This would then
be something we can point volunteers at who ask for
suggestions of something they can contribute?

Thanks,
