We are working on making this easier in ACD. I added some functions when Alan 
was writing wrappers for MIRA.

We already have ACD extensions for SoapLab to provide additional definitions for 
external applications. These are used to generate the XML definitions used by 
SoapLab for non-EMBOSS applications, but can be generally useful.

Do you have examples of the ACD files that would be useful for SIMDAT? Are any 
new datatypes involved?
