[Molvis-list] exporting _good_ h-bonds (was: export Chime h-bonds)

Although RASMOL *claims* to use the DSSP algorithm for identifying
Hbonds, it does not seem to use the entire algorithm as it reports
many erroneous H-bonds that DSSP omits on geometric grounds.
Rasmol seems to use only the distance and not the geometry of the hbond.
