We use this in the 'Jena3D Viewer' (e.g.: http://jenalib.fli-leibniz.de/cgi-bin/3d_mapping.pl?CODE=1deh&APPLET=html5&VIEW=variant) to visualize (crude models of) SNPs/SAPs side by side with the original residues. For the mutation we currently use an external program that mutates a single residue (per chain). We then cut out the mutated residues and add them as a new model to the original PDB file and repeat this for all SNPs/SAPs. This minimizes the amount of data, which is especially relevant for proteins like hemoglobin where about 400 SNPs/SAPs are available. And it enables multiple mutations at the same position. A drawback is that it doesn't work for NMR structures which already have multiple models. But this might be overcome by adding the new models to a separate second file that is loaded together with the original file.
