academic/staden: Several fixes/enhancements
I notified upstream that Staden had been added to SlackBuilds.org and got some handy tips. So: 1) The components of the program will now find their documentation directly. 2) The Staden package is now ready to provide a GUI for EMBOSS. 3) The real icons are used (converted from their Mac format).

of DNA sequence assembly, editing, analysis and more.
Some of its features include:
-GAP4 - Performs assembly, contig joining, assembly checking, repeat search,
- experiment suggestion, read pair analysis and contig editing.
-GAP5 - The new development version of Gap4, designed to work with the large
- volumes of data attainable through the newer sequencing technologies.
-PREGAP4 - Provides a graphical user interface to set up the processing
- required to prepare trace data for assembly or analysis.
-SPIN - Compares pairs of sequences in many ways, often presenting its results
- graphically and has a sliding sequence window linked to the plots.
-TREV - A rapid and flexible viewer and editor for ABI, ALF or SCF trace files.

This requires io_lib and tklib.
Notes:
1) You should run the SlackBuild in real root environment (su -)!
-2) Make sure you have Emacs and Tetex installed, as they are needed
- to generate the documentation.
-3) Slackware's TCL and TK sources are expected to be in /tmp at build
- time. The SlackBuild will unpack them in the build directory and
- create the necessary symlinks in /tmp. You can safely delete the
- symlinks when the build is complete.
+2) Make sure you have Emacs and Tetex installed at build time.
+3) Although unsupported at the moment, SPIN can provide a GUI for the
+ EMBOSS suite programs. If you want to give it a try, run as root
+ "create_emboss_data" (EMBOSS should be installed, of course). This
+ generates some files in /usr/share/staden/tcl/spin_emboss/acdtcl,
+ so remember to manually clean them if you later uninstall staden.
