Package pdbsql: Information

The pdbsql package includes two important pieces:

 - An SQLite schema that represents PDB files as a relational database.
 - A Perl script for converting PDB 3.0 files to the SQLite form.

The goal of this package is to allow users to write code that consumes
data contained within PDB files in a wider set of languages than
currently provided by the C++ Ductape API alone.  Any language that
has a binding to SQLite can use this method of accessing PDB data.
Furthermore, the use of SQL to construct queries on the data removes
the need for the user to explicitly code up the query by combining STL
data structures, iterators, and query-specific logic.  This also means
that general purpose user interface tools for accessing the data in
the database can traverse the PDB data using the standard SQL language.
