The EMBOSS ACD format is text based and as such rather niche.
I was more suggesting the ability to parse the EMBOSS ACD files
into the chosen XML format would be a neat way to automatically
generate wrappers for all the EMBOSS tools at once.

The Galaxy workflow command line tool description is XML and,
might be suitably general. There are likely others out there too
(no sense reinventing the wheel if possible).
