Option to 'combine' to retain chain IDs

[matthias.vorlaender@…]

...add an option to combine to retain chain IDs, which would basically do approach #2 above [add chain-forming fake bond then break it] as a post-processing step to combine the segments with the desired ID. The segments would need to have distinct residues numbers and the assumption would be to combine the segments in ascending residue number order. If those assumptions aren’t true then you would have to resort to one of the “by hand” methods I just outlined. I’ll open an enhancement-request ticket with you cc’ed so you’ll know when it happens.

In the next daily build there will be a 'retainIds' option to 'combine' (default false) to combine chains with the same ID instead of remapping IDs. There is a basic attempt to make the resulting sequence information for the chain reasonable, but nothing fancy.
