Bugzilla Bug 112769

A build to add MPI support to ClustalW. It is stand alone program so no
modification of the clustalw ebuild is needed.

The ebuild I made.

This is the Ebuild I made. It needs platform support, directory clean up and
such all finalized. I am not an expert ebuild writer so I am sure there is much
better ways to do some of this.

Thanks for your work, Brady. This is now in Portage as a new package called 
"sci-biology/clustalw-mpi". (I decided to use a new package rather than add 
the "mpi" USE flag to "clustalw" because this is a stand-alone alternative 
implementation and not just a patch for the original program.) 
 
I modified your ebuild to honor the user's USE flags, and added USE flags to 
control some options of the build process (MPI code for NJ trees, static 
scheduling for pair alignments). 

(In reply to comment #2) 
> I modified your ebuild to honor the user's USE flags, 
 
I meant to say CFLAGS. 

Wow! cool thanks =)

I have a bucket more custom ebuilds for programs we use here. Let me know if you
want me to upload any of them. My list includes:
sci-biology: fluctuate, lamarc, modeltest, phrap, s3, xplor-nih, fastDNAml,
genetree, migrate, paml, repeatmasker, seq-gen
sci-mathematics: rproject
sci-misc: oommf

Soemthing like 1/3 of those have fetch restrictions because they can not be
downloaded without first contacting the authors (for grant reasons..)
