primer3 and qual scores

[Gary Williams, Tel 01223 494522]

As you say "a slew of options"!
I didn't include the quality values as there was pressure from the GUI
community to minimise the number of options.

I, myself,  have never used the quality options.
They could be added in, but there are already rather a lot of options
for this program; do we need more? Which ones do you consider the most
useful, and why?
