Summary: Geminal diols have incorrect implicit Hs detected

Initial Comment:
(This bug is fixed...I just want to record the details here in case it needs to 
be revisited.)

>From the mailing list:
"I went through a large dataset of PubChem 3D structures looking for
implicit H failures (removing, then adding Hs). 1/3 of the failures
are due to the following in atomtyp.txt:

INTHYB  [$([#6]([#8D1])[#8D1])]   2       #sp2 carbon

This makes any C attached to two Os turn into sp2...even in geminal
diols , for example, ClC(Cl)(Cl)C(O)O. According to wikipedia, these
don't tend to last long but they are in PubChem (whether errors or
not, I can't say).

If it's commented out, then it works fine for these cases.

Is there any reason for this rule (it seems to date from the early
days)? Perhaps it's to correct ligand structures from the PDB where
all examples of this indicate COO-? If so, maybe the PDB cases are
better handled in the code using the molecular geometry...?"

The solution is to comment out the offending line in the file. If it turns out 
that there are subsequent problems with interpreting PDBs, we deal with it as 
follows:
"You're suggesting to add a method to pdbformat for 
"correctCarboxylateHybridization" correct? That shouldn't be too hard -- make 
sure hybridization is assigned already, then go through the SMARTS match and 
check for a real COO-."
