[maker-devel] Preformatted BLAST databases?

[Carson Holt]

MAKER has to make separate databases (min 10) for each input fasta, so
that it can split the work up more efficiently (not just one big database
per fasta).  For space savinf purposes, you could set a different location
for the mpi_blastdb by adding mpi_blastdb=/some/path.  Then it would be
shared across multiple MAKER instances and not be regenerated constantly.
