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? > * Generate a slab along a particular Miller plane. > * Draw an arbitrary Miller plane in the view.

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?
