34 +1 from me! This will make it much easier to track
35 things down.
36
37 Depending on the "definition" of visualisation and hence sci-vis
38 this category could also include
39
40 sci-chemistry/pymol
41
42 and possibly
43
44 sci-chemistry/molden
45
46 since both visualize molecules. Particularly pymol doesn't
47 seem to really fit in sci-chemistry since it is geared toward
48 biomolecules and could as well be in sci-biology. The same
49 will hold for vmd once I am done with the ebuild.

51 cheers,
