Starting from formatdb version 4, we have added a configuration file to allow
flexibility in specifying the membership and link bits to set in the ASN.1
-defline structures. The membership bit arrays are used to help distinguish
-sequences that belong to a subset database (e.g.: pdb, swissprot) in a
-non-redundant database (e.g.: nr). The link bit arrays are used to indentify
