blastall 2.2.10

Yes, Marek and I came to the same conclusion that there should be two  
types of blast tests:
1. to exercise the invocation of blastall by seeing that a reasonable  
set of results come back without checking for the exact details, which  
can be different for different blast versions;

2. to run the parser on canned blast output files and ensure that the  
results match exactly with expectations.

The current blast tests try to encompass both aspects in each test and  
are consequently far too fragile to any change in behavior in the  
external blast program.
