* deal with compressed files
- changes to ASGARD to:
* read and/or create compressed files
* add progress reports during run
* allow the use of BLAST table reports with columns in different orders from the default

* changed generated GFF to version 3
* other minor updates
- changes to color_map to:
* read compressed files
* use KO information in addition to (or instead of) EC and GO
* deal with polygons used in some maps, e.g. the overall metabolim map (map01100)
* report pathways where there were differences detected (when analyzing more than one
dataset)
* other small tweaks to graphical presentation
- extensively changed the manual (LaTeX and PDF) to reflect all updates
