>From testing the current flex-based MMCIF parser, it seems that it is not quite
complete. I don't think it is necessary to be backwards compatible with it. I
rather have a well-designed MMCIF parser written independently, like the one by
Paul, and have it replace the current MMCIF parser over time. This also allows
us to have the design of the new parser more consistent with other Biopython
modules.

To do so, I suggest to have the new MMCIF parser in a new module MMCIF.py under
Bio.PDB, and let it coexist with the current MMCIF parser for the time being.

Since the new MMCIF parser does not use flex, I would think that the previous
division into MMCIF2Dict and MMCIFParser may not be needed for the new parser.
Paul, do you agree? Can the new parser live in a single MMCIF.py module?
