I've added some stuff to extract enthalpy of formation from gaussian 
files, and still working to improve that functionality.

Is there a RESP module in OB? I have code that does this rather well, 
the only thing that does not work exactly as it should is symmetry 
detection (to find atoms that should have the same charge because of 
symmetry).

I have previously asked some questions here about bond-order/atom type 
detection and we are now going through a dataset of ~2000 molecules 
manually to see whether double bonds generated by OB are in the right 
place. There a few systems, in particular with five-rings, where 
problems occur. It seems to me that these errors can be detected 
relatively easy (just looking for C with 3 bonds would help). Somebody 
here said he was working on a complete new algorithm for this purpose 
and therefore it might not be worthwhile to fix the old one, or what do 
you think?
