It would be great to have these hydrogen-bond capabilities in Jmol.

> improperly assign hydrogen bonds. If you read the DSSP paper carefully, you
> see that although the same calculation is presented there for hydrogen bond
> detection as used in RasMol (well, ALMOST the same...) the intent is to
> define sheet and helix structure, not to correctly identify all hydrogen
> bonds. Kabsch and Sander were purposely and explicitly generous in their
> assignments.
