Very cool -- I like these ideas, but haven't had the opportunity to
get to work on them.

This would be a huge help -- thanks for doing this.

Sure :-) I don't think I've mentioned it on the list yet, but I will
be working with Marcus this summer on adding native chemistry
visualization functionality to VTK through a Google Summer of Code
project. The project description and proposal can be found here:
http://xtalopt.openmolecules.net/VTK-chem.pdf

Coding officially starts next week, and I will post a new message to
the list asking for input. Basic nuclear and electronic structure
visualization will be the first priority, and once that's finished we
can start considering community-requested features.
