This directory has the contents of the .tar.gz directory that was downloaded.
The install procedures required by quast (install.sh and setup.py) require
root permissions. I did an install on brassica (Ubuntu) and then copied the 
Python egg directory to /home/psgendb/BIRCHDEV/local/python/lib64/python2.7/dist-packages.

Interestingly, the install on flamingo makes it look as if all you need 
are the files that come in the tar.gz to create a Quast report. If that
is true, then we don't need all the other things that get compiled and installed
by the install scripts.

Further work is needed on this point.
