We have not developed those two features yet. Fair enough about the  
smtbx… We can easily mimic the mmtbx, I mean having the code leave on  
its own repository but check it out next to the cctbx hierarchy so as  
to integrate with the latter, and install in the bin directory a  
smtbx.python so as to find our modules.
