This looks terrific.  However, I'm having problems building on both Linux
and Irix (using the Intel cc and SGI cc, respectively).  It compiles fine,
but './pymol.com -c' fails with "Fatal error: can't initalize module
sglite".  It's still right where it should be in contrib/sglite - any idea
why this error would occur?
