[EMBOSS] fasta single-line sequence format?

[Niels Larsen]

Neils: Re: 'Most genome packages use it': can you specify?  Most genome
packages I know allow the flexibility to use standard line-wrapped FASTA
as well, so coding an indexing scheme for a non-standard FASTA alone
seems… tricky.  Unless you intend on allowing both, and 'unwrapped' is
just for optimization.

C Feilds: Yes, read both but write unwrapped (by default) so that steps
in 
a workflow can use the faster unwrapped format. Read routines that
"taste" 
the file by looking at the first record and derive the format, are much
faster
than when reading/writing wrapped. And less work for the user/caller.
