[EMBOSS] Database indexing logfiles

[Peter Rice]

Some questions for those who index their own databases in EMBOSS...

I am adding an output file to the programs to log information from the 
indexing run. A sample for indexing the "tembl" test database is included 
below (data files are in the test/embl directory).

Is this useful?

What other information would you like to see?

Can we improve the format of the report?

regards,

Peter Rice
