I had the same idea that some people will want to split by strain. It is 
obvious goal.
But, I disagree that the format of contigstats should remain as it is. Parsing 
a multi-column
file is trivial and those who need old number of columns, can throw some away 
using awk.
Don't know how other but I find mira so much changing (evolving) tat I wouldn't 
care about
an extra few columns in contigstats file.

Interestingly, I certainly wanted to avoid that. ;)
