packaging: rasmol molecular visualization.



	If anyone knows why this packaging should not take place let him
speak now (... or if a problem shows up later :) )

	Rasmol Molecular visualization .
	Reads standard data formats used by large repositories (eg PDB)  
Draws ball and sticks, lines, ribbons, space fill etc. Does color,
specular reflection, shadows, etc.  Outputs several popular graphics
formats.

	This is the best (DFSG-free)  molecule modeler I have seen. It
seems to be widely used and is used by some repositories in cgi-scripts to
browse their data base.

	I am thinking about packaging this. I have it built , and it comes
with nice docs , man page, etc.  There were many architecture cpp defines,
but no linux build option (!), so I had to muck with things I don't
understand, it will need some testing (I didn't see any bugs in the
examples).

	Also 'chime' is some kind of web interface that should be packaged
too.
