#267 add export to OBJ and IDTF formats

[Angel Herraez]

I would like that some options are added to the Export menus, both pop-up menu and top menu. The idea is to ease the production of file formtas for 3D printers and for 3D-PDF. We already have STL export in the pop-up, good for monochrome 3D printers. OBJ is good for multicolour printers. IDTF may be converted to U3D externally and this inserted into PDF documents as a 3D interactive object.
I am starting to find which source files need to be modified.

So far:
src/org/openscience/jmol/app/jmolpanel/GuiMap.java
src/org/openscience/jmol/app/jmolpanel/Properties/Jmol-resources.properties
src/org/jmol/popup/MainPopupResourceBundle.java
Those (and some others?) will generate the code for updating the POT files, and from those we can make the localized PO files for the menus.

We don't process the pot files. Just change the po files directly.
