I'm not too familiar with Rsamtools::pileup() but I know it does
handle indels. I also remember that last time I tried it was very
fast, very flexible, and has a very extensive man page.

can it handle indels reasonably well?  It might be a reasonable substitute, especially if it can spit out a VRanges somehow

    Sounds good.

    I should also mention that Rsamtools has pileup() that is available
    on all platforms. Don't know how easy it would be to use to achieve
    the kind of variant calling you're doing in MTseeker though...

    Cheers,

    I have my doubts as to whether someone on Windows would even have
    enough RAM to call variants across 2000+ samples in a shot, so this
    is a good compromise.  Everything else is, I believe, platform
    agnostic. This should work.
