I pushed another update to the Test Tool Shed addressing
a slight change in the autogenerated IDs used in the BLAST
XML output, and an overlooked mention of 24 columns:

http://testtoolshed.g2.bx.psu.edu/view/peterjc/ncbi_blast_plus/72170c3f515a

The functional tests are passing on the Test Tool Shed,
so before I push this to the main Tool Shed, any other
comments?

I've been working on this using JJ's work on column picking
in the BLAST XML to tabular tool - viewable here:
https://github.com/jmchilton/galaxy_blast/commit/d79afc03522768323494818a40aac10513a6fa09

See this branch updating and extending that work:
https://github.com/peterjc/galaxy_blast/tree/blastxml_jj

I'm considering splitting the column picker into three, the
standard 12 columns, the further 13 used in our extended

25 column output, and a third category for any other columns

offered by BLAST+ (like the taxonomy columns added in
BLAST+ 2.2.28).

Here's a screenshot showing the column picker offering
the 25 columns, split in two:

Note that (following JJ's earlier work) these all include the column
numbers as used in the standard 12 column BLAST tabular output,

or our extended 25 column output.

Note I would not intend to number the final set of "extra" columns.

Do people think this is helpful, or potentially confusing (since the
column numbering will change in a custom selection)?
