"""
Build windows of length `window_size` over the sequences defined by 
`len_file` excluding regions in `gap_file`.

After removing the gaps, windows of exactly `window_size` units will be
placed in the remaining regions, with the extra space evenly placed
between the windows.

`len_file` is LEN format (name length) and `gap_file is BED (name start stop).

usage: %prog len_file gap_file window_size
