[PyMOL] MMTK 2.5.1 with PyMOL support

A new development release of MMTK is available for download. See

	http://dirac.cnrs-orleans.fr/MMTK/download.html

for details. The major new experimental feature is the PyMOL interface=20=

module. If Python scripts using MMTK are run from inside PyMOL, then=20
all visualization routines will automatically use PyMOL. Animations of=20=

all kind are supported.

The PyMOL interface module also permits to obtain molecular data from=20
PyMOL and work on it. This is illustrated by two plugins, which can be=20=

downloaded as well:

- normal_mode_plugin.py
   Computes normal modes using a simplified model for the protein that =
is
   loaded into PyMOL. The normal modes are shown using animations.

- deformation_plugin.py
   Performs a normal-mode based deformation analysis that identifies=20
rigid
   and flexible regions in a protein. The result is shown by=20
colour-coding.

A third plugin, trajectory_plugin.py, loads MMTK trajectories into=20
PyMOL for visualization.

As always, feedback is welcome!
