dxtbx side effects: new cctbx needed (if you use svn xia2)

So from previous posts it is clear that some fairly major "under the hood" changes relating to how the image headers etc. are read have been made: this will sometimes (for example with Rigaku instruments) use the dxtbx, which was in xia2 and has been moved to cctbx to allow use in other projects.

Thanks to some work from Nat Echols and James Parkhurst this is now working correctly in the nightly build from cctbx.sf.net: N.B. you need to get a recent (i.e. last night) "unreleased build" for example from

http://cci.lbl.gov/cctbx_build/show_results.cgi?build_tag=2013_03_26_0005

If you download and run the installer for this you should find that xia2 from subversion will work: this can be used for processing data from a Rigaku A200, for those of you who want this. The next release of xia2 will need an updated cctbx but if you are using the current release these changes should not affect you.
