# Read MAF-format alignments, and write those that have a segment with
# score >= threshold, with gentle masking of lowercase letters.  There
# must be a lastal header with score parameters.

# Gentle masking is described in: MC Frith, PLoS One 2011;6(12):e28819
# "Gentle masking of low-complexity sequences improves homology search"

# Limitations: doesn't (yet) handle sequence quality data,
# frameshifts, or generalized affine gaps.
