Following discussion in #6 , this pull request simply adds an option to define the extension of the file containing reads. Support any extension as well as zipped files, default to 'fastq' as before.
Example tests described here work fine with a gzipped version of the mock_reads.fastq file. Outputs are not affected.
This pull request could become obsolete if the handling of inputs is reworked to allow SAM/BAM files, but is temporary measure for large analysis where it is not desired to uncompressed archived fastq.gz files.
