Hi Steffen,

I had a quick look (git grep) at the source code of ArrayExpressHTS and
although it has an option to indicate the path to fasta_formatter, it
appears to never use it.

As a control, you can git grep other external tools (samtools, mmseq,
...) and you will see that, in contrary to the search with
fasta_formatter, it returns lines of code that do construct a shell
command using the path to the tool.

So if I am not mistaken, maybe we can just drop its dependancy ?

Have a nice day,

Charles
