"""
For every column that occurs in a multiple alignment print the column
and the number of times it occurs (one column/count per line, tab
separated), sorted by count descending.

This version allows special handling of the 'wildcard' symbol in alignments.

Note: all blocks must have exactly the same number of species.

usage: %prog [options] < maf > column_counts
    -w, --wildcard: include wildcards
    -m, --maxwildcards=N: only allow N missing species
