Class FormatConverter
source code
Convert between different alignment representation formats.
The basic idea behind the converter is that it takes a given format,
converts it into the base Alignment class, and then can return an object
in any other supported format with the info from the basal alignment.
Supported formats are: o Clustal format (*.aln) o Fasta format
(*.fasta)

Initialize a converter with a given object.
Arguments: o to_convert - The class which we are going to be
converting.

Retrieve all of the basal (ie Generic.Alignment) info.
The idea is that this info is present in all of the classes and this
is the information that will be retained in a conversion. Format specific
information will be lost.
