How about BLASTing it?
The source is available, and EMBOSS incudes a standalone version. BioPERL
includes modules that allow witing fast programs that do the conversion to
FASTA snd the BLAST query. Maybe even to do the clustal alignment, but I'm
not sure. What is it you need, an alignment or a sequence comparison?
Good luck
