Thanks, John.

Of course whatever Jiang and I put in that paper is pretty old. The PDB 
have been taking care of the Jiang and Sweet archive for some years. They 
completely rewrote the code, and they have added some searches.  The catch 
in this case is that they are only synchrotron-based structures. Have look 
here.

http://biosync.sbkb.org/stats.do?stats_sec=MAIN&stats_focus_lvl=GLBL

From here choose one of the structure galleries, for example Europe:

http://biosync.sbkb.org/stats.do?stats_sec=GALLRY&stats_focus_lvl=RGNL&stats_region=European

Then choose a beamline, say ID23-1:

http://biosync.sbkb.org/stats.do?stats_sec=GALLRY&stats_focus_lvl=BMLN&stats_site=ESRF&stats_bmln=ID23-1

Then, near the top of the page, see the line "Table of general information 
(software, resolution, R-factors, etc) in tab delimited text format"

http://biosync.sbkb.org/biosync_pdbtext/measureESRFID23-1.txt

You'll get a table where the solution method and software follows the 
PDB_ID.  There's a RELEASE DATE	at the end on which you may sort.

One catch is, this is one beamline at a time.  Maybe there's a way to do a 
direct query on PDB to get what you want all at once.  That would resolve 
the other catch that it's synchrotron-only structures.
