Naccess module

Author: Florian Kiefer, Gerardo Tauriello (cleanup/speedup)

This module is for calculating surface areas
from OpenStructure using the external program naccess

How To Use This Module:
 1. Import it (e.g. as "from ost.bindings import naccess")
 2. Use it (e.g. as "sasa = naccess.CalculateSurfaceArea(entity)")

Requirement:
 - naccess installed
