That's what I was thinking. Note that Christian and Michael will have to
re-license any such contributions (p3d uses the GNU GPL V2 which is
not compatible).

As Christian pointed out, the two have some non-overlapping functionality,
so replacing Bio.PDB with pd3 isn't really an option (even if it was
re-licensed).
