>> why is it that the TPP comes with a version of X! Tandem that's about three >> years older than the current version?
The TPP version is a fork of X!Tandem that allows pluggable scoring (that feature is courtesy of LabKey Software) and full mzML and mzXML.gz read capability (via ProteoWizard library), along with a few other minor edits that have been useful to TPP and LabKey. Keeping all that synchronized with the official X!Tandem code gets complicated. The code in TPP trunk is up to date with the xtandem code of last November, so not quite as out of date as the TPP 4.3 branch, but still not the absolute latest and greatest. At the moment there's some new functionality in the official XTandem code that breaks the pluggable scoring architecture, and nobody has dug into that yet. It appears to be around the topic of phosphorylation (no comments in the newly added code, unfortunately) and it's not clear how that interacts with the k-score plugin. AFAIK if you don't care about the pluggable scoring or mzML read capabilty then you can just drop in your own X!Tandem build.
