=head2 _translate_fasta

Uses the HMMER v2.3.2 progam "translate" to perform a six-frame translation of
the input sequence. Checks the parameter "-translate". 

Accepted arguments are "all" and "orf", where "all" means (from the "translate"
help text) "translate in full, with stops; no individual ORFs" and "orf" means
"report only ORFs greater than minlen" where minlen is set to the default of
20.
