This would be great, since I do not need the library for anything else
than as a Rasmol dependency. You can get the latest sources from
git.debian.org (
http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/cbflib.git;a=summary ).

The latest version adds support for 3D (electron) densities ("maps")
and isosurface meshes. The CBFlib code is used extensively in these
features as well as in the CIF support.
