Summary: accept GenNBO 5 output

Initial Comment:
Accept GenNBO 5 output as a source of Natural Bond Orbital data.
At the moment NBO output appearing in electronic structure system (e.g. 
Gaussian) output is accepted (provided $NBO AONBO=P $END is given as input to 
the ESS). Running NBO analysis as GenNBO (standalone rather than embedded in an 
ESS) can be quite advantageous, for the parameters of the NBO analysis can be 
changed without rerunning the ESS job which can take hundreds of times longer 
to run than GenNBO. It would be nice if JMol accepted GenNBO output for NBO 
visualization. This is not a large change, because the GenNBO output format is 
the same as for the NBO output appearing in the middle of ESS output.

Secondly, this is handy because the GenNBO output derived from any ESS output 
can be accepted. No modifications are necessary to make use of a new/different 
ESS as input to GenNBO provided that the ESS outputs the GenNBO input .47 
format file format (Jmol doesn't need to know that format). ESSs that don't 
have NBO 5 as standard (e.g. Gaussian 03+09, ADF) do support .47 format output 
so GenNBO 5 can be used.

It may be possible to take GenNBO output and insert it into ESS output so that 
it can read by Jmol, but it would be nice if the GenNBO output (typically 
suffixed .nbo) could be read as is.

sounds great to me. Send us some output examples of various types.
