    What I liked about the Wasserman and Sandelin review (aside from
the fact that it is the *only* review I have yet found that actually
bothers to clearly and correctly explain the differences between
PFMs, PWMs, PSSMs, PSFMs, etc. etc.), is that they actually do cover
cluster-searching and explain why it's nontrivial.
