[cctbxbb] Going from a pdb file to an x_ray_structure object

[Claudia Millán Nebot]

Hi Nat, thanks for pointing it out. Actually, i'm preparing this for a
small example script in order to include it in a practical seminar about
the features and tools of the cctbx, so it is not that critical, but I
would be glad to get some example code of how to use it properly, because
my plans are to deepen into the use of these tools.

Thanks again :)
