+Gblocks is a program written in ANSI C language that eliminates poorly
+aligned positions and divergent regions of an alignment of DNA or
+protein sequences. These positions may not be homologous or may have
+been saturated by multiple substitutions and it is convenient to
+eliminate them prior to phylogenetic analysis.
+
+The use of a program such as Gblocks reduces the necessity of manually
+editing multiple alignments, makes the automation of phylogenetic
+analysis of large data sets feasible and, finally, facilitates the
+reproduction of the alignments and subsequent phylogenetic analysis by
+other researchers. Gblocks is very fast in processing alignments and
+it is therefore highly suitable for large-scale phylogenetic analyses.
+
+This just repackages the binaries provided from upstream.
