I have version 2.1 installed and the default output format is traditional
Clustal output with no residue/base numbers (according to -help).

Which version of ClustalW2 are you using?

I'm expecting we'll need a new wrapper for Clustal Omega (I don't know
why they didn't call it Clustalw v3).

We'll probably also need to update Clustalw parser to cope with base/residue
numbering in the output as well.
