Missing model_simple_structures about python-meep-utils

[FilipDominec]

Dear Jonpry, this is a result of some older changes in the codes. Thanks, I will try to fix that.

The script below might be helpful, I archived it from the old repo.

In fact, you can retrieve any form of the script from the project history by browsing my old commits and using git checkout.

The purpose of removing it is not to conceal anything from you, but to maintain some minimum standard of quality of published software. If I recall correctly, the script did not work as I expected. It is on my to-do list to fix it.
