The idea of a MUTATE command has been rattling around in my brain for a
while, and last night it hit me that we have all the pieces to do this
right -- structural comparison using Jmol bioSMARTS, flexible fit using
compare() and ROTATE BRANCH, atom alignment using COMPARE...ROTATE
TRANSLATE, easy ways to reconfigure bonds with CONNECT, and a very
serviceable MINIMIZE command. A few added tweaks, and nine hours work, and
what do you know? Jmol has a new command today!

Do try it out!

Jmol.___JmolVersion="14.3.12_2015.01.28"

new feature: MUTATE command
 -- operates only on last model present if multiple models are loaded
 -- replaces one amino acid group with another
 -- can read from RCSB or from user-specified file
 -- examples:
      mutate 33 lys          // uses last occurrence of resno=33
      mutate @3 arg         // replaces group of atom 3
      mutate @r @fname       // replaces resno in variable r with file data
(use "==XXX" for RCSB)
      mutate {r} his         // same as above; r must be an atom selection
      mutate 22 "myfile.cif" // user-defined replacement

bug fix: write "t.pdb" now correctly sequences groups and atoms, even after
mutation

new feature: resno is user settable
