Perhaps this is the right time for a suggestion for the Picard
developers: Debian/Ubuntu provides with its picard-tools package a
simple shell wrapper script that it installs as /usr/bin/picard-tools.
You can then run picard like this:
picard-tools FastqToSam
I find this extremely convenient. Even when I'm not on Ubuntu, I often
add such a wrapper script to my PATH. Would it be an idea to make this
or something like it part of the official Picard distribution?
