I've noticed that size of bigWig changes if the input is a fixedstep  
wig, a variablestep wig or a bedgraph. I guess bigWig is only an  
indexed binary format of the input data.
Input data, on their side, have different levels of information  
compression (with bedgraph the most "compressed"). Is there a kent  
tool to convert any wig to a bedgraph or "denser" wig?
After a "make utils" I only have 3 wig tools (wigToBigWig, wigEncode  
and wigTestMaker). I have a wig2bdg python script from MACS  
distribution but a compiled tool would be much better :-)
