A valid point.  Not likely to happen, since the only other candidate for 
the name ncbi-blast already exists as ncbi-toolkit.

Still, I would not be averse to renaming it just for clarity.  I would 
suggest "ncbi-blast+".  I don't know if there are any taboos about using 
a '+' in a port name, but there are currently 64 ports that do it and I 
like to keep things short and sweet.

Now would be the time to do this, since it's still new and not yet a 
dependency for any other ports.
