[galaxy-user] Adding new tools in Galaxy

[Dannon Baker]

Makais, 

Any type of command line tool, whether script or a binary executable, can be used by Galaxy as long as it's properly installed on the system and accessible to the Galaxy user.

See http://wiki.g2.bx.psu.edu/Admin/Tools/Tool%20Config%20Syntax#A.3Ccommand.3E_tag_set for more details on how you might call a compiled executable.

Thanks for using Galaxy,

-Dannon
