 Salut Sebastien,

 Do you mind if I rebase over 6.9.beta1? Note that I also have a waiting
 commit that does some tiny optimization to `dancing_links.pyx`.

 I am not sure the overall strategy is the good one. If parallelization is
 needed I guess that it should better be implemented at the level of
 dancing links. Googling "parallelization dancing links" already gives a
 lot of things.

 Less importantly:
 - I do not understand the name of the function
 `orthogonal_transformation`. Are these the orthogonal transformations of
 `R^3` with integer coordinates? If so, please write more precise
 specifications.

 - As far as I see, you do not test all cases of the function
 `orthogonal_transformation`.

 - What is the `modpi` arguments. What is a rotation of angle `pi` for you?
 Is it a linear transformation that is a pi-rotation restricted on a plane
 and leaves invariant the orthogonal complement? (I guess it should also
 have integer coordinates) If this is, then it is of course not a group...
 but of course you might consider the group generated by these.

 Vincent
