You should definitely package ssaha2 (http://www.sanger.ac.uk/ 
Software/analysis/SSAHA2/), rather than the original ssaha, if the  
licence will allow it.  The original SSAHA is pretty much dead, and  
SSAHA2 has new features enabling it to run well on much smaller  
hardware than previously.

I'm going to send an email to Zemin asking him about it.  I'll CC you.
