Very very good idea Malay,
I was in fact looking for a good enough starting-point implementation of the
Smith-Waterman algorithm on the web but
found nothing really satisfactory (if anyone have one to reccomend many
thanks).
However, I do not have enough 'broad shoulders' to do the job..
Any volunteers?
