Subj: CCL: Re:volume and surface of fragment

(1) compute the volume of the big sphere V1
(2) compute the van der Waals volume V2 
(3) compute the volume of the union V3 
The intersection between the big sphere and the van der Waals volume
has for volume V = V1 + V2 - V3, because the volume of the union
is V3 = V1 + V2 - V.

The freeware ASV is able to compute all these volumes:
