nice. Did anybody checked the only reason for making this package non-free:
Files: src/glo[bc]al_sse2.[ch]
src/smith_waterman_sse2.c

I think chances to get 8 year old software freed from the restriction
are worth trying. It would be nice if you could do so and record your

Thanks for your work on the package anyway
