Thanx, I really appreciate.

I didn't test it yet I just wrote it after reading the docs[1].
I'm not really sure if this is a new version. As I understand it upstream is
putting all tar's in one directory and the most recent are nightly builds. But
it's the best I can do right now.

I did some work on cctbx this weekend. I managed to remove ccp4io in favor of
libgpp4 and mmdb and I removed cbflib. cbflib_adaptbx is only working when I
compile _pycbf.so and copy pycbf.py from debian's libcbf. This can only work
when the cbflib maintainer manages to solve the bug to build python-pycbf.

So as I see it the only thing left is libann which is not possible to remove.
I guess the best we can do is build and link it statically. Size of
annlib_ext.so is 284K. Keeping annlib sources takes 1,3M space.

I also did some work on multiarch. I hope I did it right. I didn't try the dev
package yet.
