[xcrysden] XCrysden "Save Current State and Structure" on Mac OSX

[Zhu, Jianxin]

Dear Tone, 

Thanks for the revised xcAppInit.c file for Mac OSX.

Since I originally built xcrysden 1.5.53 from Fink, I simply don't know
how to put in this file there.
As such I just built a standalone program directly from the xcrysden
1.5.53 source package (with all libraries from Fink) on my Mac OSX machine.

With your new xcAppInit.c, the reported issue is gone. And when I execute
"xcrysden -s TiC.xcrysden" and the program takes the pictures back fully
and completely. 

On the other hand, as I reported before, although I don't have crash issue
with the program (same version of 1.5.53) on my linux cluster when I do
XCrysden "Save Current State and Structure", the execution of "xcrysden -s
TiC.xcrysden" does not give me back a complete picture. In a separate
message, I will attach one picture for your perusal.
I wish you have a solution to it.

BTW: I tried using this new file to replace the one on my linux clusters.
The compilation fails.

Thanks, 

Jianxin
