to Inspect and MS-Alignment
This release is primarily a housekeeping release: The code to parse
input parameters was cleaned up, some old code was jettisoned, and an
error-handling mechanism was introduced.

Inspect now uses the expat parser to parse .ms2db files (and soon will
use the parser for .mzXML and .mzData formats as well). If you're
building from the source code, install libexpat before building
Inspect.

In the future, Inspect will output error messages and warnings to an
error file (by default "Inspect.err"). If there were no errors or
warnings, the file is removed during cleanup. This lets Inspect report
errors in a way that's much more informative than a return-code, but
easier to parse than stdout/stderr. Currently not all errors/warnings
use this mechanism; if you see some that don't, please file a bug (or
fix them!).

The next release will introduce full support for the MS2DB file format,
and the new code to select valid modification sites from unrestrictive
("blind") search output.
