      Description

      JAL-4348 noted Chimera/X discovery is based on explicit version numbers being matched in various default install locations, which means each Jalview release we need to verify which versions of Chimera/X work with Jalview, and update the list of verified versions.

      Instead we could simply look for a wildcard name, and ignore versions that are known NOT to work with Jalview.
