Summary: Get molecules from web

Initial Comment:  
It would be great to be able to enter a PDB code and have the protein molecule magically downloaded from the web. It’d be even better if I could enter the common name of a small molecule, e.g. caffeine, and have it magically downloaded from somehwere (PubChem, for instance).
