I posted an "insert crystal" feature to give Avogadro a crystal library of 
common structures, much like the molecular fragment database.

I'm now re-thinking the UI aspect of this. Right now, the patch adds a command 
to Build->Insert->Crystal right below the molecular fragments.

In some sense, that isn't consistent because we add molecular fragments to 
"grow" a molecule. The crystal library mostly replaces the current system.

So I'm wondering if we should add a command under File->Import to read from the 
crystal library? Should I do the same thing for the molecular fragment 
database? This would save a few clicks for people looking to do simulations on 
common molecules: instead of creating a new file, and inserting a fragment, 
they can also import the molecule directly. The dialog box would look 
identical, but it would be a different (more intuitive) way to find it?

Thoughts?
