FYI, for anyone inclined to write their own programs, there is a similar
Python function for this in CCTBX:
from mmtbx.refinement.fit_rotamers import rotate_point_around_axis
xyz_new = rotate_point_around_axis(axis_start, axis_end, xyz, angle_degrees)
I'm not posting the code here because Paul's version is clearer, but it's in
$PHENIX/cctbx_project/mmtbx/refinement/fit_rotamers.py. (It wouldn't
surprise me if this duplicates a more general function in one of the
lower-level math modules, but I'm not sure where to look.)
