[Biojava-dev] How to read a protein seq alignment file (FASTA)

I was trying to do this a while ago and got stuck in the same place. I
assumed that someone intended to implement a multiple alignment Profile,
but never got around to it. I didn't have the time to implement it properly
so I ended up just working with lists of ProteinSequences. It's possible
that this is implemented as a subclass of one of the multiple alignment
algorithms or something. If not, this is definitely a hole in BioJava that
should be filled.
