Yes - I've only done this by streaming through, and only handled the XML
format, so it's not likely any of my stuff is very useful to you,
anyway.

It's possible that this is better handled by separate libraries - BLAST
makes different information available in the different formats, so it's
likely that the data structures will need to reflect these differences -
although common stuff could be factored out, of course.
