  def caveats; <<-EOS.undent
    Using the option '--with-dll' will create dynamic binaries instead of
    static. NCBI Blast static binaries are approximately 28-times larger
    than dynamic binaries.

    Static binaries should be used for speed if the executable requires
    fast startup time, such as if another program is frequently restarting
    the blast executables.
