Interesting question. It is more difficult than it seems.

In the current output, "Total_sequences" is the number of times the report 
output has been called. Fuzznuc (and other programs) only call report 
output functions when they have something to report. Only the calling 
program (fuzznuc) knows how many sequences were read.

However, the tail is written when the report file is closed, so we can 
simply pass the total number of input sequences to a version of 
ajReportClose, or add a function that sets a value for the report tail.

We will add it to the next release.
