May I suggest we make Jack Howarth the official maintainer of pymol, which is 
simply recognizing the reality of his hard work on this?

Also, as Koen suggested, it might be nice to have a minimal version with no 
plug-ins, etc.  I would be happy to put together and maintain that.  

There is good reason for this, in that subsequent to the untimely death of the 
original author, the importance of keeping a free, open-source accessible 
version for students and others with a minimal number of impediments is 
imperative.  Most such users in my experiment use pymol mainly for viewing 
molecules and for making pretty ray-traced figures (including many of those you 
have seen on the covers of Nature and Science in the last decade).

Also, I would lobby heavily for having a stable release of the gcc46 package 
available as a binary distribution, to save users the burden of compiling it.

All the best,

Bill
