Nope, I plead innocent (at least to this!).  I haven't made any  
commits to StandAloneBlast.  These were added in by Torsten (see  
commits 1.59, 1.60), so you'll need to blame/thank him...

So they're now a bit more consistent.  That's not to say  
StandAloneBlast doesn't need some major revisions....

BTW, I didn't see a post from you asking about the version.
