Hi Andreas,

I have backported a fix for the Python issue and ball now builds in a
fresh sid cowbuilder.  I also un-deleted the 0001-missingSigned.patch,
since I realized it is needed on ARM, where "char" is "unsigned char" by
default, causing FTBFS when assigning -1 to a "const char".  This may be
a candidate for a pullrequest to the newly moved upstream github repository.

All patches are uploaded to "master", the work-in-progress branch is
deleted.  To me the resulting package (now without any weird hacks and
old packages from snapshot.d.o) seems usable:  I started BALLView and
loaded random projects from /usr/share/BALL-1.4/data/projects, and I get
molecule renderings on my screen -- but I have no idea if these are the
right ones : )

Cheers,

- Danny
