As promised my proposed modifications for
chemical_absolute_configuration.
  
It seems to me that:
   chemical_optical_rotation
   reflns_Friedel_coverage
   refine_ls_abs_structure_Flack
need no modification.

What I am proposing for chemical_absolute_configuration is to change
only the _definition (the rest is unchanged). After due thought, I
realized that I can not condense the content of our two recent papers
into ten or fifteen lines, so I prefer just to give the references.

Best wishes,
  H.
