 Upstream provides a ZIP file full of prebuilded binary files (in parts

+  Subject: Re: What are ndft files and how to edit these
+
+  Hi Andreas,
+
+  The ndft files are N-dimensional scalar fields in binary format,
+  representing the statistical density of various side-chain conformations.
+  See http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/databases/rotamer.php, especially the
+  Son Of download and its README file (
+  http://kinemage.biochem.duke.edu/databases/READMEforTop500angleData.html).
+  The binary format is straightforward but made up, you'd have to read the
+  code in that download to reverse engineer the format, I don't remember it
+  any more  :)  I think I called that package Silk, the one that contains the
+  reader/writer code.
+
+  The files are used by tools for rebuilding protein structure, to judge how
+  (un)favorable a proposed conformation is.  Without them, those tools won't
+  work, though other parts of KiNG may (or may not, depends how good my error
+  handling code was).
