[Bioclusters] Blast Source

[Tim Harsch]

A colleague of mine is trying to use blast to determine very loose matches.
He would like to change the minimum seed length, which is hard-coded into
Blast, from 7 to 5.  Does anyone know a backdoor way, ie undocumented
parameter, which could do this?  Or, where we might find the blast source
code so we can make this change manually?
