Hi Georg,

yes, phenix.match_maps is the tool for this. Example:

phenix.match_maps A.pdb A.mrc B.pdb B.mrc

The output will be B (model and map) superposed onto A (model and map). 
A and B can have different unit cell parameters and space groups.

Also, instead of actual maps (mrc files) you can provide reflection data 
files in MTZ format. In this case by default the program will calculate 
and superpose 2mFo-DFc maps.

But... I've just fixed a bug in this tool that was reported yesterday.. 
So to use phenix.match_maps you'll need next available (successfully 
created) nightly build, look for builds starting from *-4421.
