[Bioperl-l] bioperl-run executable

[Jason Stajich]

It can be reset now but of course this not a very nice way of doing it:

$Bio::Tools::Run::Alignment::Clustalw::PROGRAM_NAME = 'clustalw_smp';

I am not sure if there are pros and cons to making it a getter- 
setter, but if you want to run with it, please do.

The whole run system has been hard to keep people adhering to a  
standard (and the standard has changed a bit) so some auditing is  
warranted.
