Hmm...like the fragment database. That would be useful. Do you know of
an existing database that can be queried like we do for proteins? Or
an open one that we could mine and ship with Avo?

Actually, one of my coworkers has already requested these, thanks for
reminding me! This would be very useful.

I actually have a windows VM that I meant to set up to do this...I
just lack motivation towards the goal and the knowledge necessary to
automate such a thing on Windows. If someone could send me
step-by-step instructions for automating the builds, I'll gladly set
up the nightly Windows builds (because then I can do nightly XtalOpt
builds, too ;-) ).

As for linux, I'm unsure of what kind of package would be best to
produce. I really like Konstantin's installers, perhaps something like
that?
