[sdpd] ESPOIR 1.0 release



ESPOIR is a Reverse Monte Carlo code for ab initio crystal 
structure determination by fittting to "|Fobs|" extracted by 
powder diffratometry.

The new release, ESPOIR 1.0, includes many new possibilities :

- Choosing any space group, not only P1. 
- Annealing by reducing progressively the amplitude of atom moves.
- Accepting events that do not improve the fit that helps not getting
        trapped in false minima.
- Restarting automatically when false minima still exist.
- Optimization of the |F| calculation, saving time.
- New examples including the SDPD Round Robin sample I
  [Co(NH3)5CO3]NO3.H2O, and cimetidine C10H16N6S.
