I ought to clarify that slightly.  Sean Eddy's original code had
a PVM mode.  My variant retained the original but defaults to
a new "database sliced" mode - where each query
runs on every node against a fraction of the database.  (Similar to
what Joe's MPI-BLAST and my PVM parallel BLAST do.)  To support that
hmmfetch was also modified to work over PVM, which wasn't required in
SE's original since the master node always had a complete database,
so there was no need to fetch entries back from the database slices
on the compute nodes.

Now back to your regularly scheduled topics...
