Right. There are multiple problems with PRODRG output, so it's usually
the beginning of the process.

Sorry, I missed why you can't use the output directly.

This is an ongoing pain,and I'd like to have a good general
solution. It seems that if you have a PDB with good geometry and
naming, this shouldn't be too difficult.
