Huub Van Dam 97f303e6f8 HvD: In the CVS era the $Id: $ tags in the source code files would
automatically be expanded to include useful information about the
checkin (including the file's revision number). With the switch over
to SVN this was lost because SVN only does this expansion if you 
explicitly ask for it (for every single file). 

I have added a script to the contrib directory that sets the appropriate
property to get SVN to do this expansion. This script will make it easy
to do this every time new source files are added. It is called
svn_expand_Id, the script contains some comments that explain the issue
and how it addresses this.  

This checkin sets this property for a subset of the relevant files
(trying to commit all files at once failed with svn crashing). 
In future the script will only affect those files for which the property
was not set before.

Given an ordered list of files contanining molecular coordinates
in XYZ format, this simple shell script generates an animated
gif for each of the six possible views down a Cartesian axis.

It uses the free utilities
  - rasmol 
    (http://www.umass.edu/microbio/rasmol) 
    to manipulate the molecule and generate the individual frames
  - convert from ImageMagick 
    (http://www.wizards.dupont.com/cristy/ImageMagick.html)
    to combine the frames into an animated gif

It should be easy to modify the script to other file formats
or animation tools.
