Comment(by kcrisman):

 > Probably still won't work because of some problems with Jmol and the
 launch shell script.  I need help because I've got it working, but don't
 know how to make a patch that includes binary files (the necessary updated
 .jar files).  I've got a good patch for the updates to plot3d/base.pyx,
 but it doesn't fix everything without updates to the Jmol and its support
 files.  I'll upload the base.pyx patch below, but actually intended to add
 it to ticket 9232, which is about Jmol from the command line.  Do I need
 to build an .spkg for the Jmol stuff?

 Hmm, those files are not being tracked by HG.  Otherwise any changes would
 be recorded, even binary ones.   But I think that we try not to track them
 because they are all binaries and we can't directly access them - hence
 the new spkg.

 If the `isosurface fullylit; pmesh o* fullylit; set antialiasdisplay on;`
 stuff is just to fix the lighting in general, we could get that in a lot
 more quickly by simply opening another ticket, since it doesn't require a
 new SageNB package.  I *have* noticed that the top of surfaces was not
 well lit, as opposed to the bottom... but only in the notebook, not the
 command line, weirdly.  That part of this patch fixes that.  Any ideas as
 to what was going on with that?

 But anything that is about changing those jmol files would have to be
 another package, though, I guess, because we don't track those files.  Why
 doesn't changing the extension just work 'out of the box'?
