Any plan to support X-Mapper as an option for aligner?

Hi,

I wonder if there is any plan to support X-Mapper as an option for aligner.

Gaston, J. M., Alm, E. J., & Zhang, A.-N. (2025). X-Mapper: fast and accurate sequence alignment via gapped x-mers. Genome Biology, 26(1), 15. https://doi.org/10.1186/s13059-024-03473-7

Thanks.

Seems like a nice alternative, I vibe coded this up in #272. The tests seem to pass, but I'm worried about the old java thing - where do I put the jar file? Currently requires it to be in the current working directory, which isn't ideal.

a bioconda would be even better - asked at mathjeff/Mapper#3
