Rolf, I have the intra-ligand bonding  working now with the updated CIF
format that Sameer sent me a link to. I think you also got that, right?

Now I have to implement _struct_conn for the inter-group links. This is
somewhat more problematic, as CONECT is some sort of subset of these. I am
hoping I can map them properly; obviously we don't want all possibilities.
Do you have an idea which ones (metalic, covalent, etc.) ?

I think the sensible way to implement this is to use

load *XXXX*
load =XXXX*

where suffix * means "updated CIF"
I think it's not clear exactly how these CIF files will be distributed. The
problem for us is that Jmol states must access the exact file -- or at
least know not to try to access the _chem_comp data even if it is present
if the state originally read the pre-updated CIF file. That could be tricky.
