Not that I can tell. Basically I just removed a few residue IDs from  
the enumerated list for SWIG. OBRuby will be otherwise fine. IMHO  
it's a bad idea to rename them, because these are literally the PDB  
codes. (Plus to do it in C++ would break backwards-compatibility  
inside the library.)

So I've omitted PDB residue codes for:
_1MA
_5MC
_1MG
_2MG
_7MG
_5MU

Great, I'll update the Makefiles. See, this is why it's best to have  
feedback before a release. :-)
